We emphasize conceptual development and video design skills, grounded in advanced production and post-production. We encourage a multidisciplinary approach to video, providing opportunities for you to interact with fellow students who major in computer graphics, film and photography and other disciplines throughout the school and university. In beginning classes video is approached freely as a medium for perceptual and conceptual development. Students bring their interests to class via video recordings, learning about themselves, their world and the video medium simultaneously. In subsequent classes students are required to produce work informed by the history and theoretical tenets of the medium.
Assignments also require the progressive refinement of technical skills.
Students often work in small production crews. Collaboration is encouraged. Audio, including music, is a key aspect of this time-based medium.
