CONCEPTS IN TIME BASED MEDIA

Intermediate level study of design fundamentals in time-based applications, with emphasis on video, sound and performance. This course explores the use of time as a medium to shape viewer/participants aesthetic experiences in time.

MAKING A CASE FOR A COURSE

For this project, students were challenged to make short videos to MAKE A CASE FOR A COURSE that UNCG should offer. The videos were created for the UNCG School of Art Instagram.

Some considerations that were discussed with students:

• Who are you?
• What is the course?
• What are your background and life experiences that relate to your interest in this course?
• What is the historical and current context of your subject? (ex. if you want to offer a course on rollerblading, give the viewer some ideas of rollerblading happening in our world.. assume you need to educate the view in a concise and brief way)
• Why is this course relevant and useful to students?
• Why does this course help shape a better citizen and member of society?
• Where and how does this course happen (particularly if an unusual or unique place or method)
• Who might teach this course or be visiting guests to the course?
• What are the next steps for the viewer? how can they contact you or show their interest / support?
• Thank the viewers?

Consideration for production:

• fundamental principles - composition, framing shots, smooth dolly shots, overhead views, parallel and vertical lines, sound quality and editing.
