Course Description:
In this practical introduction to the art and craft of making movies, we will explore the filmmaking process by creating one short scripted film and one documentary together. Using a professionalized, collaborative structure, this seminar simulates the experience of working at a small production company. Along the way, you will be inspired by some great films and gain exposure to key steps in the motion picture process, including pre-production, production, post-production and marketing/distribution.
