DMP-2400 - The Moving Camera (3)

Prerequisite: DMP 1010 DMP 1020

This course draws on students’ skills and knowledge developed during the introductory DMP courses. The Moving Camera develops students’ critical understanding of moving cameras, their images and the impact of those images. The module emphasizes the relationship between theory and practice by exploring the moving camera through practice with Steadicam, Track and Dollies, Jib-arm, and other camera conveyances. Production work is single-camera based and students are encouraged to shoot on location. Students have the opportunity to further develop producing and writing skills by developing scripts, sequences, and shots that will be incorporated in their creative long-form video projects. Part of the assessment will be based on skill development. Students will work as part of a small production team to devise, research, schedule, script, shoot and edit short films. Throughout lectures, screenings and exercises students also develop their critical awareness and understanding of conceptual issues and how these relate to their practical work.
