Welcome to Digital Pathways - All Girls Video!


I'm looking forward to a great semester working with everyone involved in the class and with the Digital Pathways program.  Over the course of the spring we will work together to learn basic video skills from idea creation to final product.  We will explore the three phases of production: pre-production (planning, writing, scheduling, etc.), production (the actual filming of the project), and post-production (editing).

Additionally, The Digital Pathways All Girl Video Production class has been designed uniquely for all female enrollment.  The curriculum is designed to challenge the lack of female presence in fields of media production.  Students will deconstruct and analyze representations of women put forth in Hollywood films, television, and advertising.  The class will provide students not only with the technical training and skills to excel in a competitive professional media production industry, but also with the critical thinking capacity to tell their stories in a way that doesn’t reinforce current stereotypes and inequity displayed in contemporary mainstream media.

For our first class we'll get to know each other a bit, overview exactly what it is we'll be getting into this semester, and we'll look at some student films that BAVC has produced to get an idea of what it is you can make and what you might be interested in creating!

Here are the pieces we analyzed today:

1. Sign of the Times:

 

2. Slip of the Tongue:
