Each Graduate Film Studio course uses a hybrid studio/labratory learning model. Fundamentals are taught through short intensive sessions, then integrated into a labratory classroom context in which students use the creative process to integrate skills and concepts into their own practice, while examining their use in the context of contemporary developments in the field. The first semester of Graduate Film Studio focuses primarily on craft development and effective execution of technique in the service of artistic vision. Subject areas will include: 1. Production Models and Workflows 2. Cinematography (classical and cross-media) 3. Sound Capture and Design 4. Sequencing and Editing for multiple temporal frameworks. Group exercises focus on project genesis and design, modes of expression and dissemination through multiple channels and for isolated frameworks; integration of research, process, and creation.
