Film Studies 210 - Topic: Begin. Video Production

'This course provides a foundation in the principles, techniques, and equipment involved in making short videos. Working with already existing texts, students will develop their own projects. The course will introduce the following: developing a project idea from a pre-existing text; script/treatment writing; aesthetics and mechanics of shooting; the role of sound; and the conceptual and technical underpinnings of digital editing. By translating other media into cinematic terms, we will develop our proficiency in the language of moving images.'
