Course Descriptions

CINE 198: Workshop: Post Production Workflow (1 credit)
Fridays, 10/2, 10/9, 10/16, & 10/23, 9:00-11:50 a.m.
Instructor:  Kevin May
CINE Elective

Post Production Workflow is an essential workshop that will help you succeed in your CINE filmmaking courses and your future filmmaking career. We explore foundational editing skills, such as media management, transcoding, and how to create a workflow to accommodate various media types. (This course is recommended to be taken in conjunction with or before CINE 270 or other Production A courses.)

In this four-week workshop, for both beginners and more experienced editors, we will explore non- linear editing with a focus on Media Management and Workflow. We will examine strategies for media organization and selection, how to efficiently use the tools within the editing software, and methods to efficiently review and refine your work. We will primarily be working in Adobe Premiere, but we will also look at other NLEs such as Final Cut Pro X and Avid Media Composer. By the end of the workshop, with either tutorial media or your own, you will have created and refined a short edit highlighting what you’ve learned in the class. Note: Because this course has special meeting dates, regular academic deadlines do not apply. Please contact the academic department for more information.

Tuesday / Thursday, 12:15-1:45 pm

Production B

This course, taught by one of our Avid Certified Instructors, will train students in the industry standard non-linear editing software, Avid Media Composer. The course follows Avid’s curriculum along with additional content focusing on editing theory and practice to give students a complete understanding of the software’s workflow and operations. The class will also strengthen students’ overall editing technique and help them to become proficient in the art form of non-linear editing. In this course, we will focus on media organization, beginning and refining an edit using a variety of tools, and also on numerous effects, including tracking, color correcting, and multilayer effects. Additionally, at the end of the term students will take Avid’s Certification Exam with the opportunity to become Avid Certified Users.

CINE 490: The Films of Ang Lee (4 credits)
Tuesday/Thursday 4:15-5:45 p.m.
Instructor:  Dong Hoon Kim
Core B

This course will examine the films of Ang Lee whose influence go beyond national, industrial and cultural boundaries. Due to his work’s global appeal and the incongruity across his films, Ang Lee is often labeled as a “transcendent,” “transnational” or “postmodern” filmmaker whose work raises new critical questions for many theories of film studies. In this class we will inquire into Ang Lee’s films with the theoretical framework of film authorship. The course will begin with tracing the origin and development of the theory of film authorship and the role it played in shaping the field of film studies. While employing different approaches and theorizations of film authorship in analyzing formal elements, narrative strategies and subject-matters that define Lee’s work, we will also try to expand our sense of film authors by examining them not simply as “authors” who deftly encode their artistic visions into their works but as cultural “signifiers” that influence film and culture industries and circulate across the national boundaries.
