Sonic Visions: The Art of Music Video Making

This course will explore the music video format as art while providing an introduction to basic digital video and audio editing skills for the purpose of creative output. As a production course, ample time will be allotted to the workshops and studio time leading toward a final project. We’ll also look at avant-garde film and video which have influenced the visual language of music videos and we’ll analyze the technical components as well as the cultural context of these works. Music videos are often found at the intersection of technology, dance, fashion, and culture so we can anticipate rich discussion around these topics.
