This course provides students the practical and conceptual skills to integrate digital media into their research presentations and art-making practice. It covers techniques of capture and manipulation of digital media with conventional video cameras and other input tools such as mobile phone, still cameras, and sound recorders; software applications such as Final Cut Pro, Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator; and selected sound design applications. Students prepare their material for various output scenarios ranging from print graphics to Internet distribution to large-scale projection. Students must own an external hard drive for saving their work. Owning a digital still or video camera is helpful but not mandatory.
