Projects include: narrative montage, commercial, and a documentary short. Students will be required to shoot original footage for the montage project and will have the option to work with provided content for the other two projects. In addition, this class examines the new frontier of online publishing for film and video narratives and explores editing and compression techniques for online distribution.
