This course is designed for students interested in exploring the relationship between dance and camera, and the fundamentals of dance documentation. We will explore the technical and compositional capabilities of High definition cameras and film-editing software to create dance performance documentation. Students will learn how to execute clear and effective camerawork in relation to dance performance and dance film, and to utilize editing software to most clearly display the artistic intent of choreographers and directors. This class will be a yearlong process divided into a semester of camera operation and a semester of editing. The students will work to create and implement projects exploring technical and artistic aspects of camera and editing work, and will be required to shoot a full performance run at least once during the year.
