The course covers a range of handmade and digital processes used to create moving images, build worlds, and tell stories. Students will learn about all elements of production, from the initial concept through to the completed piece of moving image content with sound. We will study historical and contemporary movements, watch and discuss films, visit exhibitions, explore the outdoors, write, draw, record, imagine and create!
