The goal of the course is to understand, analyze and confront in practice various aspects of video art and digital video. This production course will focus on themes such as character/speaker, depiction of space and time, the frame and its margins, color and texture. The examples shown in accordance with each topic will demonstrate various solutions to the issues discussed in class. Each unit (topic) will involve a short exercise that will itself entail further discussion in the students solutions. The unit consists of two classes - one in which the topic will be introduced, and another for students' projects review. Throughout the course we will look at principles of editing, videotaping and sound recording, as well as at compression schemes, video capturing techniques and tools for the production of video effects.
Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with video production.
