Course Description

This course will explore the role of panoptic observation within film and the arts, and in contemporary society and trace its historical roots. Students will work in production teams to complete two films through which they will examine ways our society has embraced a public surveillance application of CCTV and web cam culture, augmented by digital cameras and the mobile phone camera. Through a series of seminars and screenings, the course will study how this use of technology has impacted on social life, our aesthetic sensibility and our sense of personal and collective identity. Students will investigate this cultural practice and acquire production and post-production skills through creating two films that offer an interpretative panoptic vision.
