24-6021 Production II

This course aims to help students refine their aesthetic sensibilities and sense of personal vision as directors through projects that involve writing, making storyboards; shooting in a variety of visual styles; producing; directing action; working with actors; and editing. First, students collaborate with their classmates to shoot exercises on video in a number of different cinematic styles; for the final project, each student writes and directs their own seven-to-eight-minute film. Students expand their sense of filmmaking by doing collateral work in the two other courses offered in the second semester, Theory and History of Film & Video and Editing for Film and Video. They expand a sense of aesthetic possibilities by the work they do in Theory and History and extend their editing sense through the work they do in the Editing course.
