This course teaches the basic skills of film production, including camera work, editing, sound recording, and preparation and completion of a finished work in film and video.

There will be a series of filmmaking assignments culminating in an individual final project for the class. The development of personal vision will be stressed. The bulk of the work in the class will be produced in 16mm format. Video formats plus digital image processing and non-linear editing will also be introduced.Prerequisite courses include a 100 level course in media arts (Introduction to Media Arts, Hampshire Media Arts, or equivalent and must be completed and not concurrent with this course.)
