FAMS 102 Integrated Practice I

This course introduces students to the creative, theoretical, and practical aspects of media production and is designed to provide a foundational understanding of audio-visual storytelling. Students will learn the technical fundamentals of composition, lighting, audio recording, digital video cameras, and non-linear editing. The class will be grounded in deep discussions of ethical media-making and responsible practices that move between past, present, and future. We will study aspects of pre-production, production, and post-production through hands-on assignments, readings, screenings, discussion of assigned exercises, and in-class workshops with digital storytelling equipment.
