Media Production and Cultural Studies in South Korea
July 8–29, 2020
(Summer Session II)
The Media Production in South Korea program will provide students the opportunity to work on a great range of production techniques and tools of the medium, including electronic media production theory, shooting on location, graphics, audio, and post-production. Students will not only explore the diversity of South Korea, but also be able to document and create a story of their personal experience there.
Dongguk University, located in the heart of Seoul, will provide an ideal setting for studying media production and cultural studies within a South Korean environment. Participants will work collaboratively with Dongguk University students on the pre-production, production, and post-production of short video projects. Students will also take a streetwise course on Korean language and culture that will facilitate their understanding of traditional culture while they are shooting. The first week of the course will focus on an introduction to pre-production and production. During the second week, participants will shoot on location in different parts of Seoul. In the third week, students will learn and apply the post-production process to their product.
In addition, students will:
- visit popular Korean TV networks and live concerts,
- explore the traditional aspects of Korean culture, and
- create connections across South Korea while producing projects.
Housing is on campus at Dongguk University residence hall.
This program is open to undergraduate students, from all majors.
