Prelude to Video Argument Assignment




Your next major assignment will have you "produce a short (3 minute) video document concerning contemporary issues regarding politics and the media. Considering Stanley Cavell’s definition of film as a 'succession of automatic world projections' alongside our investigations of media, students’ videos must express their own definition of the medium of video. A project statement will accompany each student’s video." In preparation for this assignment, scour the Internet and find a video that uses the medium itself in a creative, challenging, and/or self-reflexive manner to comment on the relationship between media and politics. Explain what the video is doing, how it is doing it, and why it relates to the communication of political and technological concepts. Try to post something by Friday's class.
