| 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. The course reinforced or introduced production and design skills. 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 2020 US presidential election, an international, national, or local issue or movement such as gun control or environmental justice 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 were also examined. Readings included historical, critical, and literary texts. |
