In the winter turn 09/10 at University Siegen I’m holding two seminars:

Musicvideoproduction
Supported by GrandHotel Pictures and in cooperation with SONY Music Enterainment we’ll realise a complete Music video production in this course.

Starting with some introductory sessions on the aesthetics and narratives of music videos, the students will later be teached how to develop ideas and write treatments. Thereby prepared for the business we’ll have a pitch for one of SONY’s bands - followed by the realization of one of the students’ ideas as a professional music video production.

Web Video - editorial and documentary formats
Video content is becoming more and more popular on the net lately. Publishing houses, networks and other media players use the more emotional and involving moving images to enhance their text based services.

Since the quick&dirty paradigm of the first years didn’t work there is more than ever the question which specific qualities web video can deliver.

The students will create their own online videos in this course, focusing on format development and strong narratives.
