Graduate subject – Media Arts and Production – 400 level

This subject offers an in-depth study of one aspect of screen production. In any given semester, the focus is on one of the following: a genre, a particular period of cinema, a visual approach, a television genre, recent cinema, a director's style, issues for the contemporary producer, cinematography, editing, production design for cinema, mythic themes, poetics, issues in contemporary narrative cinema or new media, digital special effects, or another craft aspect of media production. Through screenings, readings and seminar presentations, students develop their skills in the critical analysis of film, video and new media. The subject encourages students to develop their own technical, critical and creative skills in media production through individual research and a series of visual production exercises which are workshopped in the seminar.
