Video Art

Video Art (ARTS 1845) is an introduction to video as an art making tool, emphasizing editing, cinematography, and personal vision. Learn to use strategies such as Continuity and Montage to tell stories and express a point of view. Storyboard, film, and edit your own short original videos.

Acting / Video Collaboration

For these projects, Video students collaborated with students taking Acting for the Camera in CCRI's Theatre Program. Video students storyboard, film and edit. Theatre students rehearse and perform narrative and commercial scripts. Together, students practice how to communicate with each other in a professional setting. This collaboration pushes all participants to make the best quality work with their peers.

Montage Project

Students are challenged to create a video that primarily uses sequence, pacing, and image to construct poetic, visual, and metaphoric impact. The content can focus on the kinds of common, generally unnoticed activities that exist between the memorable events of our lives. The goal of this project is to create meaning through editing, as oppose to action, dialogue, or plot. Editing can create a “third meaning” that exists in the spaces between shots.

Story Arc Project

This project follows a series of exercises which introduce camera use and editing techniques such as Point of View Sequence and Matching on Action. Students storyboard, record and edit a project which follows a classic story arc or one several examples of nonlinear storytelling. Students consider how each shot and cut contribute to the structure of the story, and how cuts can build or release tension and anticipation.

Composite Project

Compositing means combining visual elements from separate sources into a single image, often to create the illusion that the composited elements interact. Compositing has existing since the earliest film, for example in the work of Georges Méliès. In this assignment students use matting, keying, and other techniques to create original, imaginative films.
