Video Boot Camp: The Music Video - Summer 2011

11 AM - 5 PM
Tuesday, August 2 - Friday, August 6, 2011

Students will explore the exciting process of making music videos by watching a variety of videos, and then working in small production teams to conceive and produce music videos to original songs. Over the course of four days, students will watch and critique a variety of styles, from the origins of music videos to those created today. Students will then be trained on camera shots and editing techniques used to achieve the look and feel of professional videos. Once the concepts are developed, the production teams will go on location around Boston to shoot footage for their own videos, returning to the Digital Studio at the ICA to edit this footage into the final works to be shown at the end of the week. Each student will take the role of director and camera person, and all students will edit their own version of the video.
