Description

FTVM 290 is a fast-paced, hands-on survey course in media production introducing the concepts and practices of multi-camera television, digital video, and 16mm film. Students will work individually and in groups to complete short digital video and film projects and in the process, gain first-hand experience in strategies and techniques of scripting and pre-production, production, and post-production. The aim of the course is to explore the aesthetics and processes of film, video, and television production. Similarities and differences of the various media/approaches will be explored.

Course Requirements:

Assessment will be based on short assignments related to production — storyboard and shooting plans and group production projects using digital media and film (50%), TV studio directing projects (25%), on-line discussion (10%), and attendance and participation in good spirit (15%).

Intended Audience:
