FILM PRODUCTION III

In this class students will increase the production value of their filmmaking skills. Students will work more in-depth with advanced lighting (such as light a moving subject, utilize negative fill, color) and sound (including how to design atmospheric sound to enhance their storytelling). The class will also advance student editing skills with training in Adobe After Effects and include a focus on color grading. The class emphasizes the role of a Director and students will begin working with actors and produce a short narrative film (8-12 minutes) by further developing and applying skills they have learned from Film Production I & II. We will apply what they learned about film aesthetics in Film Theory & Analysis and incorporate Creative Writing both taken in the previous semester. Basics in screenwriting will be covered so we can produce a short narrative screenplay early in the semester.
