| Description | In this media production workshop, we studied historic and contemporary examples of campaigns produced for political groups and movements as we made media for change and transformation. Students analyzed works created by corporations, collectives, citizens, and artists, and used this knowledge to create work of their own. Our workflow incorporated research and development of an idea, production, editing, revision, and exhibition. The final work of the course was created in response to the 2018 midterm elections, an international, national, or local issue or movement such as gun control or reproductive justice or net neutrality or Black Lives Matter. Required weekly screenings included international ads, feature films, and video art. Print, radio, performance, and social media was also examined. Readings included cultural, historical, critical, and literary texts. |
