FMST 0860 - PRODUCING SOCIAL MEDIA

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description Producing Social Media is a film and media studies course that combines critical studies and production to critically analyze, understand, and produce the social media that dominates much of current culture in terms of production elements, platforms, trends, and genres. We'll put critical theory into practice by making social media projects that explore the possibilities of this digital, mobile, and global production model as well as interrogate how the data and monetary infrastructures contain and limit the creative potentials of this medium. Given how fast these spaces change, a larger holistic understanding of content differentiation, audience interaction, influencer culture, and obsolescence are key to prepare students and practitioners for working and thinking in these spaces. In the course, students will curate or make weekly content as well as produce and design their own larger media projects. This is a course that combines Critical Studies with Production. It counts for Category III towards the Film and Media Studies major and minor.
