Production Safety and Set Protocol

Catalog description

This course is a requirement for all students and a prerequisite for all intermediate and advanced-level production courses.**** The purpose of this class is to enhance the artistic, collaborative experience of filmmaking by exposing students to the various skill sets and techniques used in film and television productions, and to familiarize them with the industry's standard of best practices. Learning these basic "nuts and bolts" not only enhances safety and productivity, it enhances our artistic purpose. It gives the Director the time he/she needs to get that extra take, or the additional coverage the editor needs to convey the Director's creative vision. Through a series of lectures, assignments, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, students will become familiar with the many tools used in physical production, with the goal of fostering their creative vision in a safe and healthful workplace that is both professional and productive.
