This is not a production course. I wanted my students to be able to…
--grapple with broad questions of narrative and the construction of meaning through a deep engagement with films, videos, texts, and other forms of digital narrative
--identify and describe the elements of digital narrative with precision and detail
--develop and improve their oral, written, and audiovisual skills in French
--develop confidence in their own creative self-expression
To create these digital projects, students engage in a great deal of oral and written work, from developing the story ideas to working through multiple drafts to working on the technical side, all in French. They also engage in critical analysis of digital media projects produced by French production companies such as ARTE-TV and LeMonde.fr. They learn to describe and analyze these projects in detail, constructing arguments about how and why they make meaning in the way they do, with particular attention to the formal qualities of the medium.
