Course Description

Summary

Students will work towards completing one moving image piece or body or work of their own devising during the course of the semester. This course is primarily intended for seventh- and eighth-term students with a Plan concentration in Film/Video who have already taken Advanced Projects I in the prior fall, but exceptions may be made by permission of the instructor. Students will concentrate on their own production and editing processes in this course, while the course will balance a schedule of regular group critiques and individual meetings with technical workshops in post-production, presentation/exhibition formats, as well as planning and placement of work post-graduation. The class will be concluded with a public screening event.

Learning Outcomes

  • Focus on a significant video production of their own devising
  • Put to use all the tools of pre-production such as storyboarding, budgeting, scheduling, and sound and visual design;
  • Put to use best practices for 4K production workflow from cinematography to post to color grading;
  • Develop their advanced work through both individual meetings with the instructor and presentations to the group;
  • Exhibit their work in an end-of-the-year exhibition/screening.

Prerequisites

Intro to Video, Intermediate Film/Video courses, Film/Video concentration, 4th year students working on final projects independently. Exceptions can be made only in consultation with faculty.
