What exactly is going to be involved in the 3 projects we're going to do?

There are actually 4 projects in CPI:

1) FROM THE STREET (DV) will focus on found, observed, and vernacular
poets and poetry (5 min max)
2) FROM THE WORD (DV) will focus on translating written poetry to images
(5 min max)
3) FROM THE LIGHT (16mm) will focus on the image AS poetry
4) FROM THE EYES (DV) will focus on incorporating the poetic image into a
narrative scene (DV tapes)

Is this similar to the cineamotography class? Will each student actually create their own film?
