Course Title	Intro to Media Production
Department	Humanities Arts Cultural Stu
Campus	Hampshire College
Course Description	This course is an introduction to the theory, history and practice of media production looking particularly at how images "speak" beyond words. Students will explore fundamentals of creative production in film, video, sound, and photography. While students are introduced to some practical tools of media art production, an equal emphasis is placed on understanding the social, historical and aesthetic conditions that create meaning in a work of art. Students will be expected to demonstrate that they are learning not only how to make media, but how to engage with the form critically and creatively. Motivations and trajectories from activism to the avant-garde will be explored through readings, viewings as well as visual and written assignments. This course is a pre-requisite for Video I, Film I or Photo I. There is a $50 lab fee charged for the course. EXP, PRJ,PRS,REA, WRI
