Writing with Video | creativity | inquiry | reflection | communication | composition
Writing with Video is an advanced composition course designed to engage students in a comprehensive exploration of creative inquiry, self-reflection, social engagement, and
media production. Directed writings in concert with video production projects allow
students to experience an integrated process of thinking, creating, and problem-solving.
Electronic media play an increasingly important role in today’s communication landscape. Consider, for example, the role that time-based visualization now plays in many areas of scientific research, or how video is used in popular culture to inform and persuade. Students who understand visual, time-based communication and have robust writing skills will have a competitive advantage in the coming decades. The leaders of the next generation will possess sophisticated, multi-dimensional communication skills — the type of skills taught in this course.
