Directing Wkshp Beg I

Catalog description

The course provides an overview of film language and visual storytelling techniques which are then practiced in hands-on directing exercises shot both digitally and on film. In addition, each student develops and directs a four-minute black and white silent film, written in Fundamentals of Screenwriting I. Students work in crews of four to six, and rotate positions allowing exposure and contribution to a number of productions other than their own. The course encourages students to explore the personal and formal variations that will lead to discovery of one's own style.
