[Track S] How can appropriated audio and visual material be used to convey memory, critique history, and speculate about the future? How can “real” documents like news, advertisements, and nature footage be used to tell personal stories, and speculate on the nature of truth itself? Working with all kinds of found media, from home movies to NASA footage, we will test the boundaries of non-fiction while learning the craft, history, and theory of working with appropriated material. Students should have access to a computer that can support Adobe Premiere (Macbook Pro or equivalent), a working knowledge of Premiere (or another editing program), and reliable wifi access for downloading material from the web.
