EDITORIAL DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY(LECTURE IN ENGLISH)

  1. Course Description
    영어강좌로서 매체사진에 있어 가장 중요한 분야인 에디토리얼 다큐멘터리에 대해 탐구하고 실습한다.
  2. Course Objectives
    Learning and understanding how to create a photo story for an editorial publication (reportage and/or commercial) and how to work on a documentary photographic project. Students whom wish to work with video to create a documentarty film are also encouraged to enroll in this class. The primary focus of the class is on story building and and telling a complete story through the usage of images or video footage. Students will learn various views and expressions from historical and contemporary photographers in editorial and documentary photography of the present and past.
  3. Teachnig Method
    First of all, this is a studio and lecture class conducted in the English language - not a class to learn English. Basic English conversational skills are a must and you will be called upon to participate in critiques and give presentations in English. That being said, students are not graded based on their English ability, but on their active participation in English and developing their confidence in using the English language. It’s my hope that Korean students will have an opportunity to utilize their English language abilities in ways they wouldn’t otherwise be able to and interact with other potential international students that may join the class.
