Project 2: Performance Video

For this project, students will create a 4-to-6 minute video in which they are the performer in a staged event captured with video. This performance, which may occur in public or private should focus on a predetermined performative gesture. Students will need to collaborate in groups of two to shoot these performances. Each student will be responsible for turning in the piece in which they are the performer. The final pieces will be edited in Adobe Premiere and turned in as .mov (or.mp4) with the h.264 codec.

Below, I have linked to some examples of performance videos as well as video documentation of performers. Please be advised, some of these works contain subject matter and imagery that is potentially NSFW (Not Safe For Work), and may not be suitable for children.
