Experiments in Digital Video

NC1110-01

In this seven-week moving-image studio intensive, students shoot, appropriate, and edit digital video and audio with a focus on personal expression and project development. Topics covered include the history of and contemporary trends in experimental moving image, sound/image relationships, and creative strategies for non-linear editing. We explore unconventional approaches to visual and auditory storytelling, applied to original footage and sound that may be abstract, narrative, or nonfictional, depending on student interests. In the second half of the class, students explore the use of found footage and sound, using collage and appropriation to tell a range of stories. Screening programs, brief readings, and in-class lectures are supplemented with asynchronous software tutorials and handouts. During in-class group critiques, students discuss the work of their peers and provide constructive feedback. All levels are welcome, and technical instruction is tailored to students’ needs and goals.
