H56.0049 Colloquium 2 Credits
Course level: Introductory
This is a pass/fail course in which freshmen meet weekly. The purpose is to amplify the introductory production courses with relevant lectures and guest speakers. In addition, students will be introduced to the specific areas within Undergraduate Film and Television that they may wish to pursue further.
This course addresses audio and visual communication in both historical and contemporary contexts. It is taken in conjunction with the student's choice of: Introduction to Animation Techniques (H56.0041) or Frame and Sequence (H56.0039). (See Freshman Colloquium: Performance Strategies (H56.0046) if enrolled in Sound Image)
During the Freshman Colloquia, upper classmen will pitch their projects on occasion for interested students to sign up for the 12 hours of required crewing. The "crew" introduces the freshmen to the important collaborative aspect of the film and television profession.
