Our first semester on this class yielded some very interesting and provocative stories. It also was a lot of work as the students will attest. This course, more than any other except Photo 45, allows you to explore one topic in depth, but with an emphasis on storytelling. One of the most powerful and evolving professions of the next 20 years will be in digital and print storytelling. With the growth of Internet video and digital books, this method, using still images, live audio an video, combine to form a powerful medium. From Ken Burn’s pioneering work on the Civil War to the more contemporary elaborate music videos, the advent of small, affordable digital camera with video capability has moved this style of reporting to new levels. Photography 47 is a 3-unit course consisting of 5 hours of lecture and lab. Outside homework, time is decided by the student’s desire to have a successful project by the end of the semester. The amount time necessary will vary from student to student. Prerequisite for the course is Photography 5. Advisory Photo 15 and 30 The course designed to acquaint students with the changing world of publishing both from a printed and video standpoint. While digital publishing continues to evolve, the populist press has transformed book publishing into a new art form. The advent of digital video publishing is allowing many photographers to publish and develop elaborate, well-designed videos on a variety of topics. This class will direct you in ways to not only communicate, but also reach new audiences with your projects. Best practices in publishing both types of media will be explored. Students will select a subject of their choosing, with instructor approval, and proceed to illustrate that subject over the semester. The first project will be a traditional printed coffee table style book, laid out and designed by the student. The final will be the same story told in a video format that will include still video, live video and audio recordings
