Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
The students will learn how moving image is used in the contemporary world in different contexts. The students will also gain basic knowledge about working with moving image or can develop their prior skills further.
Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Moving images with sounds have been used widely in different formats: Youtube-videos, Snapchat, Skype-calls, commercials, TV, films, video art, installations, scientific visualizations etc. The AV club will make an excursion to the realm of moving image by looking at different kinds of works, in different kind of contexts. We try to see the culture of moving image as one phenomena: to see that the YouTube-videos are at very basic level the same as Hollywood films or video art, only difference is the conventions inside the manmade categories.
Students will also work on their own works: it can be anything from video relating to his/her studies, or it might be an investigation into 4K cinema or just a set of random video clips shot with phone. The work can be done in groups or by oneself. The club will meet once a week to see the progress of each project. Students are also invited to bring in moving images that they have found to be shown at the club. The projects and the works presented will be discussed during the meetings. The teacher will provide some works to see and reflect for the students and also will provide technical coaching for working with moving image and sound. The student's final works will be shown in a screening or an exhibition.
The course will include few visiting lecturers, a visit to relevant museum, gallery or a screening. One week long workshop will be held where students can work on their final projects.
