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.
