Students create a short one shot video in the style of the
Lumière Brothers and other turn of the century film
pioneers
. During the project, students explore early cinema and
reflect on how the work of pioneering filmmakers still reverberates
today. Students will learn to plan a short narrative film and
create a cohesive video product without the benefit of utilizing
modern filming technology or video editing. They will, so to speak,
walk in the shoes of the very pioneers they study.
