Course Description:
IAT 343-3 Image, Sound and Motion (DME)
The advanced moving
images course allows students to further develop their communicative
and artistic expression through the use of moving images in new
media. This course offers a strong studio orientation based on
conceptual, aesthetical and technical training integrated within
screenings, seminars and critiques. Students are exposed to
experimental film, video and multimedia screenings. The class engages
in themes of physical and conceptual assembly, transformations of
light and form, movement, spatial and time based composition through
digital video production from initial premise to final presentation.
Students will have an opportunity to develop an original and mature
body of work that reflects the student’s interest and passion
for moving image and digital media.

Courses Objectives:
In this course students will:
Further develop their communicative and artistic expression through the use of moving images in new media.
Build on the fundamentals of experimental film and installation concepts and techniques.
Explore several techniques of the image and sound analysis as well as the camera-based motion tracking system.
Develop flexible editing engines that can be driven by sensor-based interface.
Gain theoretical, historical and cultural perspectives on their own artistic practice

This course is based in digital video production, with an emphasis on building an expanded, interactive or installation based video work for the final project. In this course students review and further develop camera, lighting and digital video editing skills as they use Final Cut, Premiere and After Affects. In addition to the video production and experimental film and video making this course offers basic techniques for interactive, responsive, algorithmic and multi-modal media work within MAX MSP and Jitter programming environment. Final projects may take form of installation based work, video sculpture, experimental film, network and media performance, interactive film and narrative. We will look the machine vision and hearing—camera and microphone—as a sensory input that can register movements and sounds from the environment.
