Provide evidence that this course/revision is needed (purpose of proposal). This course will provide an introduction to the theories and practical application of linear and non-linear video editing in a hands-on environment. Editing is used in all film and video projects. This course uses state of the art analog and digital editing software (Adobe Premiere and others). The theories of parallel editing, accelerated editing and “opposites of attraction” editing from spatial, temporal, graphic and rhythmic perspectives will be examined and practiced. 7. Describe the students who will enroll (include estimated number). Students pursuing general studies degrees with an emphasis in television production, CalWorks students, students seeking job skills and specific interest students drawn from the community at large.

CATALOG AND OUTLINE 1. CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Introduction to the concepts of digital video. In this hands-on course students work in a multimedia computer lab to capture, create, and edit video files to be used in film and video productions. Students will use VHS and Hi8 hardware and an encoding capture card to translate video from analog to digital formats and then use non-linear editing software to manipulate and enhance digital video clips.

OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENTS 1. COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES: List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate some of them in terms of specific measurable student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills to be attained as a result of completing this course. For degreeapplicable courses, include objectives in the area of "critical thinking." Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Demonstrate a basic knowledge of assemble and insert analog editing. Create and modify sounds to coincide with video, Demonstrate the use of Premiere as a tool to capture and edit video, Demonstrate the use of a VCR and Video encoding capture card to input and output video from the computer. Demonstrate the use of Dazzle Movie Star as a tool to capture and rough-cut edit video. Demonstrate the use of Ulead as a tool to fine cut edit and experiment with transitions. Demonstrate the use of Premiere 6.0 for advanced professional level editing. Distinguish montage vs. mis-en-scene usage and have a working knowledge of continuity vs. discontinuity editing. 9. Apply and incorporate the theories of parallel, accelerated and collision of attractions editing. 10. Apply spatial, temporal, graphic and rhythmic concerns of editing. 2. COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS: Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for noncredit courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc. 1. 2. 3. Students are required to establish, assess and determine strategies and goals to maintain continuity throughout the narratives they edit. Students are required to formulate narrative possibilities synthesizing them into coherent spatial, temporal, graphic and rhythmic sequences. Students are required to formulate examples representative of Eisenstein”s Dogma of editing (parallel, accelerated and collision of attraction). 3. ASSESSMENT Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category 1 is not checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade. A. This course requires a minimum of two substantial (500 words each) written assignments which demonstrate standard English usage (grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary) and proper paragraph and essay development. In grading these assignments, instructors shall use, whenever possible, the English Department’s rubric for grading the ENGL 150 exit essay. Substantial writing assignments, including: __ essay exam(s) __ term or other paper(s) ___ laboratory report(s) __ written homework __ reading report(s) __ other (specify) If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate because: ____ The course is primarily computational in nature. X The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving. _____Other rationale (explain) B. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including: __ exam(s) __ quizzes X homework problems __ laboratory report(s) __ field work __ other (specify) ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COURSE OUTLINE (8/97) 3 PROGRAM AND COURSE NUMBER C.
