Response
To Favorite Artwork
Students have to research 2 video artists whose practice they like. They also have to select 1 work that incorporates the medium of video by any artist, and 1 work of contemporary art that they like. They then have to provide a written brief about why they like that particular work. What do they think the work is about? Students must try to keep their thoughts as genuine as they do during the class discussion.
Now, they must forget the form and everything else they liked about the particular work and translate the concept into the medium of video
Self Portrait
in Moving Image
What is portraiture? How have portraits and self-portraiture evolved in various mediums throughout history? What is portraiture today? What is the difference between a Self-portrait and a Selfie? These are some of the questions that form the basis of this project. After submitting a short research paper and class discussion on the said topic, you have to make a self-portrait in a moving image.
It could be a literal or symbolic work but your physical appearance and presence in your work is mandatory.

Video
As Object
The basic element of the video is not the camera or a lens, it is time.
If time exists all around us, encapsulating our space, can a video, a time-based medium be thought of as a physical object?
This project aims at rethinking the medium of video and imagining it as an object. Let's find the ways it can be used to blur the lines between the real, the fictional, and the virtual.
Dream like
Hollywood has set a tone for us to shoot dream sequences. Blur images, merging landscapes, and overly saturated colors are something we imagine the instance we think of shooting a dreamscape. However, still images, particularly those produced by surrealists have a more Dream-like feel.
This project deals with producing a dream-like work, with the essence of a dream rather than shooting a dream sequence or works based on dreams.
