Description

Film I provided students with an opportunity to engage in the 16mm filmmaking process. From the opening session, students were introduced to the possibilities of hand-made films that included animation, self-processing, and collage. Based on the standard projector’s 24-frame-per-second projection rate, emphasis was placed on recognizing and internalizing the various rhythmic possibilities available when working directly with 16mm footage. The grammar of traditional continuity was also explored as well as modes of non-fiction practice. Weekly screenings plus their corresponding assigned readings introduced students to a wide range of approaches to the moving image. Each student was required to submit weekly written responses to the assigned readings and films viewed in class. Students were also required to complete a “found footage” exercise, a 16mm mid-term project, plus a final project that could incorporate a mix of mediums and/or formats.
