Korea: Media Production and Cultural Studies in South Korea

July 2 – 23, 2014 (Summer Session II)

The Media Production in Korea program will provide students the opportunity to work in a great range of production techniques and tools of the medium, including, electronic media production theory, shooting on-location, computers, graphics, audio and post-production. Through a series of classroom lectures and screenings, students will receive a comprehensive introduction to television production, and a brief introduction to visual storytelling through video. Studying abroad in Korea will give students a new canvas to produce their ﬁlms in an Asian setting. Students will not only explore the diversity of Korea, but also be able to document and create a story of their experience. Dongguk University, located in the heart of Seoul, will provide an ideal setting for studying media production and cultural studies within a South Korean context. The first week of the course will focus on an introduction to pre-production and production. Students will also take a streetwise course on Korean language and culture that will facilitate their understanding of traditional culture while they are shooting. During the second week, participants will shoot on-location in different parts of Seoul and South Korea. The third week, students will learn and apply the post-production process to their product. Participants will work collaboratively with Dongguk University students on the pre-production, production, and post-production of short video projects.

Housing is located in a Dongguk University residence hall, located on the campus. Meals will be taken on or near campus, or at restaurants during shooting periods.

This program is open to undergraduate and graduate students, all majors.
