Ideation & Theme (MFA) is a course designed to help students approach the creative process in multiple ways and to explore story and theme in conjunction with considerations of personal vision and expression. Students develop a range of simple ideas and work through the conceptualization and proposal process using various writing and visualization strategies. These film possibilities are filtered in a variety of ways throughout the course. Work completed earlier in the graduate program can be drawn from and work produced in this class may be further developed in subsequent graduate courses.
