Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This is a hands-on introductory course for students of social and cultural anthropology interested in the use of video for documenting social and cultural phenomena. The lecturers do not expect any previous knowledge about making films, using a video camera or digital editing.
The lecturers will provide introductions to:
• developing a concept and planning the documentary
• basic technical aspects of video cameras
• shooting techniques
• interviews and commentary
• use of ambient sound and music
• editing
Parallel to this introduction, students will work on films about students’ life worlds in Vienna. We will discuss practical aspects and problems of the groups in class and comment on the different concepts in the form of treatments and exposées.
In the two final sessions of the course we will show the finished products and discuss them extensively.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

From the beginning, students will work in small groups and will plan, shoot and edit a short documentary of approximately 10 minutes, making use of the video cameras and editing equipment of the department. A good deal of time will be spent working in these groups outside class, peaking in the editing of the film with the aid of one of the lecturers.In the seminars students will present and critically appraise their colleagues' work. The basis for assessment is the film produced by each group. There is no oral or written exam.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

• understanding that a good film begins with a concept
• being able to use a digital video camera
• trying out different roles in a camera team
• thinking in pictures and applying dramaturgical structures
• being able to use a digital editing lounge

Prüfungsstoff

In class, we will switch between inputs from the lecturers and discussion. Special emphasis is put on criticising each other’s products in order to sharpen personal perception and improve one’s own work.
The course is open for 24 students (6 groups of 4 students) and the language of instruction is English.
