Continues the exploration of film and media production techniques in camera, sound, lighting, and editing. Drawing on previous study of narrative, documentary, avant-garde film and video, students gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between the visual and aural elements of moving-image and sound through hands-on experimentation.

This intermediate film production course explores the process of making alternative fiction, non-fiction, hybrid and experimental works that defy categorization. Students direct two short exercises and act as cinematographers and sound designers in two classmate’s projects. Throughout the course students also write a proposal for a 10 to 20-minute film. Short alternative films and clips from longer works from around the world are screened periodically to exemplify and discuss the various kinds of processes students can engage in in their own works. Prerequisites: Film 85 or production experience. Consent of instructor required. The class is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. Preference is given to Film & Media majors.
