ENGL 309: Multimedia Authoring

In this hybrid digital workshop and studio course, students learn principles of media production, storytelling, and design across a range of audio-visual and web-based platforms. Through focused readings and discussions on documentary, design, and digital aesthetics, students examine creative works by professional artists and media producers and participate in regular critiques of students-made work. Classes include hands-on instruction in image-, audio-, and video-editing techniques and web design basics in a project-based, collaborative learning environment. Throughout the semester, students propose, edit, author, and design a series of original multimedia projects and produce a professional portfolio website of their creative work.
