Introduction: In this class you will practice video making skills and study about different careers in filmmaking. Learning to make films for others to understand strengthens communication skills. Understanding your audience and what they may or may not know is part of being a strong communicator. We each have our own unique vision and understanding and it is through communication that we learn to clearly share what we privately see in our minds.
Practicing and studying filmmaking will help:
Writing techniques for narrating in English.
Speaking interview skills in English
Listening to technical and everyday topics in English
Reading information and research for making videos
English story telling skills
Camera angles and shooting techniques that help with perspective
Beginning and intermediate editing skills to change an idea
Learn entry level subtitling techniques and rules from translating
for: English to Japanese and Japanese to English.
Course Goals: In this class you will complete video activities relating to stages of production. You will also do a case study project on a specific career of you to present to the class. The process of learning production will help you become a more informed viewer of media, teach you practical video making skills, and help with your overall communication.
**You will also have the opportunity to submit finished videos to international film festivals.

Spring Semester 2016
Spring Semester 2016
Assessment:
Your grade at the end of the semester comes from categories. The categories have different weights. Your grade at the end of the semester will come from these numbers. The categories, weights, and descriptions are below:
Attendance:
If you are more than 20 minutes late to class, you are absent. Please come on time. If you are late several times, this will affect your attendance/participation grade.
If you are late or absent because of a train delay, be sure to get a note from the station (遅延証明書) and show it to me so I can excuse you.
If you miss class because you are sick, you must bring me a receipt from the doctor. I will then excuse your absence.
If you have more than 6 unexcused absences you automatically fail this course and have to repeat it again next year.
At KUIS, you will fail if you miss over 1/3 of the classes in a semester. This is different from your “Attendance/Participation” grade! If you miss too much class, I have to fail you. For this class, that means that if you miss more than 10 times, you will fail, even if your grades are good and even if your you have excuses for your absences! Be careful!
Participation:
In communication classes it is important to be present to speak and interact with other students in the class. There will be many classes that you will have the opportunity to work with classmates on mini video projects that will also count towards your overall participation grade.
What to Bring to Class:
Video projects
camera and audio equipment (this will often be your smart phone or iPad)
cords for camera and audio equipment
Late Work:
Assignments have specific due dates.
In some cases late work will be accepted but given a lower score. Please ask me when it is acceptable to turn in late assignments.
Please turn your work in on time.
