FTV323 - Music Video: Genre, Style and Production
Course Description
The music video is a vibrant and unique form of sound and visual expression. While the launch of MTV in 1981 forever changed how people watched and thought about music videos, there is a fascinating \"pre-history\" that informed how music videos were made before MTV. And while MTV has transformed into a TV channel with very few music videos, the form itself remains an active site for study and practice.
This class will use screening, lecture, discussion and reading to explore the development of the music video form, including consideration of the representation of race, sexuality and youth culture. In conjunction with that exploration, students will work individually or in pairs to produce a music video. All videos produced will be posted to the Internet on the last day of class.
