Contemporary Art & Film What do we do?
The arty bit • In Term 1 we look at film as an art form of sequential images, including: • Who does it and with what objectives. This then includes feature film makers, music video makers and video artists and the different contexts in which they work. • The composing of images and image sequences – with film examples. • The relationship between film and other image based art forms, including contemporary art. • Editing techniques.
This is the film maker Martin Scorsese’s favourite artist. (You knew that there would be some painting if I was teaching!)
The technical bit • In Term 2 Chris Woollard will teach you how to load, set up and use a film camera and you will make a short film. • You will do practical scene-lighting and framing exercises, both in the studio and outside. • This is studio and location based and is taught at Avery Hill campus (there is a ‘school bus’). • It’s exciting, complicated (involving teamwork) and expensive (there is a small charge for film use – currently £40).
Coursework • There are 3 short pieces of coursework for Term 1: an essay, an illustration (easy) and a group presentation (fun). • In Term 2 you make a short piece of film. • There is an exam in May with one compulsory question on scene lighting and equipment for a specific film, and one shorter question on each term’s work. (We prepare you carefully for this with 2 revision sessions.) • If none of this has put you off (and it shouldn’t because it’s all exciting stuff), we’ll see you next term.
