The Art of Filmmaking: Composition and Moving Image
This course is an introduction to composition specifically as it is used in the moving image. There are four modules: Cinematic Thinking, which will serve as an overview of cinematic history, vocabulary, and alternative approaches to filmmaking, Choreography for Camera, a dive into the rules of composition and camera movement, Light Writing, which will explore different kinds of lighting, and Composing, in which all that we’ve learned will be combined and broader aspects of filmmaking such as sound and editing will be introduced. This course is designed to be hands-on. In each module there will be a combination of short video lectures, readings, samples of work by filmmakers and artists, and supplemental suggested materials in case you want to further explore the topics. There will be both practice and graded assessments such as written reflections, quizzes, discussion prompts, and peer reviews. There is a course long project that will build from one module to the next to create a longer final video project. The final project will be assessed by peer review. You must complete all required assessments and the final project in order to successfully pass the course. It is important to see examples of how filmmakers use these concepts in their actual work. Most of the work samples will be small, independent productions, many will be made by students. This will introduce you to different approaches to filmmaking without a huge budget to give you a sense of the kind of work you can create on your own. The concepts covered are also used in major mainstream productions, but you can see examples of that kind of work out in the world. This course will introduce you to new ways of working that you might not have the opportunity to experience otherwise. Much of it will be experimental or avant-garde. Keep an open mind while watching these works, you will learn to be challenged by radically new techniques and approaches to filmmaking just by watching something you might not have experienced before. You are encouraged to keep a film journal during this course and write reflections on your responses to the works you’re seeing both in this course and outside. You will be asked to write reflections as assessments throughout the course. Keeping a journal is helpful so you can track the development of your own way of seeing and thinking about cinema.

食品安全與風險分析（Food Safety＆Risk Analysis）
何謂「食品安全」? 目前食品安全相關議題儼然已經成為我國學術研究、媒體關注的顯學。所謂食品安全可從兩方面觀察，一方面是傳統意義之安全，即現在現有科技與環境條件之基礎上，人類已經認識並得到公示之安全界定；另一方面，伴隨科學發展與技術進步，當人類認識又提高一個層次而對安全性提出新要求時，必須重新界定看似安全但卻存在值得研究之問題，如補充維生素對人體作用之爭議、油炸食品對健康之影響等。 何謂「風險分析」? 食品科技日新月異，人類對飲食條件日益增高，如麵條口感必須Q彈、茶飲料要有回甘喉韻，食品業者為添增食品風味，在食品製造過程中，往往摻入較以往更加繁雜且多樣化之技術或添加物，在滿足消費者味蕾同時，也帶來諸多食品安全之相關風險。伴隨科技逐漸蓬勃與行銷全球化之趨勢，食品科學領域因而蘊含更多對健康俱為之隱憂之不確定性，行政管制於新興風險社會下面臨前所未見的挑戰，傳統「危險防止」的國家任務被要求提升至「風險預防」。因此，在現今食安事件一再發生，而污染源又極為多元的情況下，與食品安全相關之風險管理措施，已經逐漸受到世界各國之關注，許多國家紛紛透過立法及建立專責機構，強化對現代食品之監督管理。 風險分析其實是進入食品安全生活以及保障我們安全最重要的一個課題，延續過去在食品安全與毒理的概念並加入風險分析的架構，制定一套完整的食品安全系統：以科學為基礎，制定政策上的管理，同時應該公開積極與大眾溝通。食品安全資訊需要客觀的安全和主觀的安心並存，安全是科學、安心是人性，中間的轉換需要消費者、媒體、政府和食品界一起努力，花時間改善。 食品安全與風險分析蘊藏著哪些箇中奧妙，讓我們一起跟隨著姜老師的腳步，一探究竟！
