Applicants must be available to start teaching Sept. 6th, 2006 and are required to commute to Fanshawe College located in London, Ontario once per week (for each course). See schedule listed below.

Shooting & Lighting 1
This course is designed to introduce the student to the operation of the motion picture camera (specifically the Panasonic HVX200 High Definition Camera), lighting and field audio equipment. Theoretical and practical exercises will be completed throughout the semester to improve operational skills. Artificial and natural lighting sources will be utilized as the student experiments with lighting a scene. Throughout the semester each student will light and shoot a series of interview subjects in a variety of locations. Shot composition, camera to subject relationships, continuity and action shooting will be explored as well. The single camera (film style) approach to shooting scenes will be the focus of this course.
Thursdays 8am-11am (3 hours per/week)

Editing 1
This course will introduce the student to non-linear editing for film and television, using Final Cut Pro software. Through a series of projects and practical exercises the student will learn to operate non-linear editing software and hardware. Audio and video editing techniques will be demonstrated, analyzed and critiqued through out the course. Basic editing terminology and technical requirements of post-production will be taught throughout the course. Aesthetic issues of editing such as interacting shots, emotional responses, montage, music selection and use of pacing will also be explored.
Wednesdays 1pm-4pm (3 hours/per week)

Incidences, a media arts DVD by Perte de Signal, 2005 (20 min.) brings together the work of Montreal artists who have marked the Canadian video art landscape with their innovative practice. Generated through the use of digital tools, the selected works and remixes recount processes that oscillate between a defined program and the accidental. From here, a zone of creation is born in which the incidental nourishes the artist and their work. Followed by the official launch of the Cubicules exhibition catalogue. Artists from Perte de signal will be present.
