(CRN ) Students will learn elements of cinematic language, focusing on documentary film: the basic principles of storytelling, cinematography, editing, sound recording, and producing; how to operate as a one-person crew using their own equipment; and how to analyze films to understand cinematic vocabulary. Students must have access to a mobile device or camera that can shoot video and a computer that can run basic editing software.

Credit will be granted for only one of ART 259 or ART 295 ST: Digital Video Production. Three credits.
