This course is designed to introduce you to the study of the aesthetic elements of film and television. The term “aesthetics” often applies to the appreciation of beauty in art or nature. For our purposes, “aesthetics” can be defined as the methods and techniques used by TV producers/directors/editors to affect viewers, be it emotionally or intellectually. Over the course of the semester, we will identify and define the various visual and aural aesthetics that contribute to the artistry of television and film productions. We will analyze the effects of cinematography, lighting, sound, editing, set design, costume and makeup, music, graphics, opening and closing sequences and other production components. Using the Netflix popular series “The Queens Gambit” as well as documentary productions seen on TV and Film, students will explore the basic fundamental principles used in both single camera and multi-camera production. Class is taught by National award-winning producer/director and filmmaker Robin Kampf.
