This course will take students through the production process for digital filmmaking while transforming your short story from the page to the screen. Students will learn technical skills and their application through a hands-on approach to camera, sound recording and lighting, as well as aesthetic choices for creating a scene. Working with actors and collaborating with a production crew will be included. Digital workflow will be discussed and demonstrated. Students will also work in teams during in-class shooting exercises, and are encouraged to collaborate for their own productions. Each student will script, direct, shoot and work with an editor to complete their own three-to-five minute digital project.
NOTE: Students can reserve digital cameras as specified by the instructor for home assignment.
