Focusing on music video and commercial production, this course will apply fundamental cinematic, fine art and visual theory concepts to practical assignments. In the course, students will study traditional storytelling theories and their application to visual narrative design. Although some of these principles are hundreds of years old, others are the results of new, emerging technologies. As students apply the visual principles they will see how important they are to practical production. FILM1830 assignments can therefore be used in the preparation, production and editing of all motion pictures.
