Description
Documentary is the window through which we view and present much of the world's art and culture. This is a collaborative course involving MCA students from the MFA and BFA programs and students from BFA in Music and Audio Technology. Film students create short documentaries following composers as they create new scores for the 1920s avant-garde films produced by the Dadaist, pioneering director and radical educator, Hans Richter. Film students apply digital storytelling techniques to this unfolding artistic process. As they create short documentary modules, film students explore: selecting the aesthetic approach to match the subject, coverage for an unfolding process, shooting performance, the filmmaker-subject relationship, putting present-day process into historical context, treatment of archival elements and marketing of art & culture documentaries(*Please add the follow Pre-reqs.)Prereq.
