Motion Picture Set Lighting I

Catalog description

The course uses hands-on projects and demonstrations to help the student develop skills to work in a set lighting department. Upon completion of this course, students will be ready to enter the film industry at the feature film level as a freshman set lighting technician. The level of preparedness of each student depends on the students participation and effort in learning the material and using the equipment. GFA 3020 is the upper-level option of GFA 2020. Students cannot take both the 2000 and 3000/4000 level option of equivalent courses. Either the 2000 or 3000 level course would satisfy the prerequisite for its related 4000 level course. If pursuing the Nexus, the 3000/4000 level-upper division course is required. Pursuing the 2000 level course will not result in a Nexus degree, but may be used towards GFA certification.
