Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0107 - Non-Fiction Film

This is an introductory course for students who would like to explore their interest in documentary practice. Through a combination of screenings, lectures, readings and technical workshops, we will explore a critical/historical overview of this genre and incorporate our knowledge and experience to produce individual or collaborative projects in a variety of "modes of representation". Projects need not be restricted to a particular medium; in fact, students will be encouraged to explore the ways in which film, video, and/or animation can be utilized together. The emphasis in our screenings will be geared towards films that profile musicians, composers, and the music making experience.

Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work Multiple Cultural Perspectives Writing and Research Students are expected to spend 6 hours weekly in preparation and work outside of class time. Prerequisite: Prior experience in film or video making is essential. Lab Fee: $65
