Directing 2

Course Code

FILM 3002

Academic Year

2016-2017

This course continues the work of the Directing 1 course, deepening students' analysis and appreciation of the art of directing. Students expand their critical and analytical faculties as the course addresses more complex elements of directing, focusing on narrative, visual language, and performance. The practical applications in this course place the students' work in a theoretical context through lecture presentations and seminars. At the end of the semester, each student produces and directs their own short dramatic film (video), which includes preparation of a dramatic breakdown, annotated script, storyboards, shot list, casting, rehearsing, blocking, shooting, and complete post-production.
