FILMS-3840: Film 3: Advanced Production

Course Description

This course is designed for advanced-level FILM students. Film 3 is the first part of our Senior projects sequence. Over the course of the semester students will conceive, develop, write produce, direct, and edit two short digital film or media projects in a workshop environment: one individual or duo project; and one group project according to professional film role practices. The course begins with a producing practicum looking at the five phases of production (development, pre-production, production, post-production, marketing/distribution) from a producer's perspective, including the detailed process of script breakdown, scheduling, and budgeting. The filmmaking fundamentals discussed in class will be brought into practice in the field. Students will participate in a series of practical exercises focusing on story development, creating character, use of locations, actions, situations, and themes. Students will be expected to crew on each other's productions in various crew positions according to industry-standard production roles.
