Video Post Production Sketchbook

This upper-level video course is an opportunity for students to build their skills in post-production techniques. More advanced skills in Final Cut Pro, After Effects and Soundtrack will be explored in a series of workshops and exercises. An ongoing engagement with viewings and critical texts will allow us to both master and challenge traditional practices in post-production. Pacing, continuity, compositing, color correction, sound mixing and special effects will be covered. Rather than focusing on a final project, students will generate a series of four to six short videos that experiment with form, style and substance. Students will also be expected to write short papers and conduct class presentations on relevant course materials. There is a lab fee charged for the course. Prerequisites: Video I or Film I. Instructor Permission Required.
