Course Description
This production and theory course will introduce students to basic video, film and photographic techniques and to a diverse range of critical texts on digital and media theory, film theory and some art history. Production work will include the use of digital video and digital photography, including Photoshop. Students will gain experience in pre-production and post- production techniques and will learn to think about and look critically at the moving and still image.

A $50 lab fee provides access to equipment and editing facilities. Students are responsible for providing their own film, tape, processing and supplies.
