Audiovisual Studies: Theory in Practice
DDC 120
Fall 2026
| Section:
01
|
The course will provide an extensive technical and theoretical knowledge of audiovisual production. The class will include a mixture of training and workshops, background on theory and history, and class time for individual and group projects. This will all work together to create a foundational understanding of both classical and experimental filmmaking techniques, and the social and political contexts behind them. The course will include seminal written frameworks for audio and video production; with the likes of Noel Burch, David Bordwell, Sergei Eisenstein, Roland Barthes, etc. We will also watch a range of filmmakers; including John Cassavetes, Chris Marker, Jonas Mekas, Yvonne Rainer, and Adam Curtis. We will utilise the range of equipment the DDC has to offer -- and cover the basics of video, audio, and lighting equipment, as well as post-production and editing softwares. Assignments will be based primarily in making, as well as short readings and screenings that will facilitate group discussion and collaboration. The class is open to all seeking practical experience, with any level of background - and those looking to experiment technically and realise independent projects. |
