Overview of class
In the winter quarter of this full-year sequence, students will exercise and synthesize previously-acquired filmmaking skills as director of a short film made on the professional low-budget independent model. In anticipation of students' filmmaking pursuits after graduation, they will further develop and observe their own particular methods of narrative filmmaking production, so as to aid in the self-presentation and planning necessary to work in this field.
Learning Objectives
Creation of a more ambitious short film than has been possible through previous course work, which includes managing the project's schedule, budget, and personnel; articulating audiovisual and dramaturgical conception of this project, and engagement in critique and review process of one another's work as collaborator or colleague; awareness of exhibition opportunities, professional practices, and how other artists and craftspeople have begun and sustained careers in the field.
Class Materials (Required)
Free course readings, video, and audio material will be provided through library reserves, internet links, and PDFs on canvas.
Class Notes
Permission number only. Course only open to students with projects selected for completion of this class in Spring of Junior year.
