Overview of class

This course is a two-quarter sequence in which each student focuses on directing a short film of greater ambition and scale than is normally feasible to complete in a single quarter. The student will demonstrate the ability to conceive, plan and execute the overall storytelling (e.g. screenplay development, directing actors, implementing audiovisual design, editing, etc.) required for the project and continue to develop their own personal methods and practices of filmmaking to develop their voice as an artist as well as engage in constructive critique of their classmates' work. Through in-class presentations and critiques, as well as one-on-one consultations with the instructor, the following will be emphasized: screenplay development, audio-visual design, directing (especially working with actors) and pre-production preparation.

Registration Requirements

This course is by permission number only.
