Class on Oct. 3

Dear Class, 

As a reminder, I will not be in class tomorrow due to a performance in New York. However, class is still on, and attendance will be taken.

Joanna Spitzner, who is an artist and teaches Time Arts (among other things) in the Foundations department in VPA, is planning an awesome sound/radio workshop for you. I'm jealous that I won't be there to participate!

Additionally, you will be looking at a bunch of examples of single shot films and videos. All of these will be hyperlinked on the blog if you want to revisit them or spend more time with them. The examples include early cinema, video and performance art, experimental film, advertising, and narrative movies. You will use these as inspiration and grounding for your homework. Please pay attention to the characters, inciting incidents (something that happens that causes narrative action to happen), and the sequencing of events in each of these examples. 

For your homework, you are responsible for shooting your own 1-3 minute single shot videos. These are due NEXT WEEK. Please see below post, or the REPRESENTATION page, for instructions and more details. 

NEXT WEEK IN CLASS WE WILL:

1) Finish Critiquing those that didn't go last week

2) Look at your Single shot videos

3) Have in-class workshop with Adobe Premiere and your footage (bring your files, memory cards, and laptops with Adobe Premiere installed)

4) Talk about sequencing, narrative, and editing

If you need to reach me, email is best (however, expect a delayed response). Because I won't be having office hours tomorrow, I am available on Monday if anybody would like to schedule a time to come in and chat. Please let me know

Enjoy your week! 

Best, 

Jessica
