Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this Columbia College Chicago Catalog; however, the Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
With an emphasis on narrative form, the course covers a basic technical and aesthetic foundation in filmmaking. Students learn to develop craft as well as personal voice through doing projects that involve writing treatments and scripts; developing storyboards; producing; lighting; directing action; working with actors and crew; and editing. For the final project, each student works on both their own film as well as those of their classmates.
