Advanced Projects in the Visual Arts (Personal Narrative): Course Description

In this course, 'Advanced Projects in the Visual Arts: Personal Narrative,' students work on their own video assignment with a view towards creating a solid storyline, showing growth in their characters and establishing a strong story ending. Students also explore ways to handle flashbacks, foretelling and jumps in time and space. In this class, students learn advanced audio techniques and editing methods, as well as special effects. Access to a studio, editing equipment and field production equipment is necessary for OpenCourseWare learners. This course was part of a Bachelor of Science in Media Arts and Sciences and was taught by MIT Professor Joe Gibbons.
