AR 506 Multimedia Production Workshop

Learn beyond the basics of operating video equipment, editing, and motion graphics software. Students are instructed on the three stages of multimedia project creation. In pre-production, students learn the basic principles of story development, storyboarding, scheduling, and budget planning. Students shoot short video stories and edit those stories together using Adobe Premiere and After Effects. As a participant in this course, students are expected to upload videos to the Internet. Skills acquired in this workshop have applications in broadcast journalism, documentary film, and transmedia storytelling. Visual content delivery methods, in both web and social media, are explored. The course focuses on a variety of strategic design elements such as: photography, graphic design, videography, motion design, virtual environments, multimedia, digital audio recording, User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design as well as training in Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality design (AR, VR, and MR, respectively). Graduate students can expect an individual project chosen and planned by the student with approval of the instructor. Critiques, lectures, research groups, and student presentations provide the foundation of each residency. Shared interaction and evaluation maintain a rigorous critical and creative environment where individual artists can succeed on their own terms. Residencies end with Saturday Colloquium, an all-day event involving students, faculty and visiting artists from all disciplines.
