2018-2019 Course Description
In this course we explore the composition and creation of still and moving images through photography, narrative, documentary and experimental film.
We will explore several photography genres including but not limited to portraiture, documentary and photojournalism. Through our study of digital photography students will explore the composition of still images and their relationship to film/video and the composition of the moving image.
Our film/video explorations will include film analysis/critique, history and production. Digital film/video productions in this class will explore narrative, documentary and experimental film/video production and editing.
Students will create three to five projects during the semester on topics that are both assigned and self-directed.
Second Year students will review the technical basics, engage in one assigned and two self-directed projects during their semester. It is strongly recommended that all second year students have their own DSLR- this will allow the student to fully engage at their own pace in this course.
This year our class is composed of these primary units:
Still Imagery & The Evolving Language of Photography
Story
Portraiture & Studio Lighting
Color Theory
Developing with Adobe Lightroom
Moving Images
Documentary Film
Final Projects
Units are explored differently each semester based on the constellation of students and their interests.
