Video Essays for Film- and Media Students, 15 Credits
In this course we explore and produce scholarly video essays. We investigate the topic critically and in depth, and from the perspectives of videographic film studies, the essay film tradition, and questions of film as theory/philosophy. The final examination is the creation of a scholarly video essay, which can be likened to a smaller thesis in video form – and here we build on basic knowledge of how to write scholarly theses. The course aims to give students a critical, rhetorical, and theoretical edge in producing videos essays.
