This course presents students with the opportunity to speak directly with working professionals in the film industry and learn the inner workings of a production team. Emphasis will be placed on the responsibility of each craft toward the visual interpretation of a movie, focusing on the collaborations between the director and other production artists. Each week various production artists will visit and speak with you about what they do on the set, when they enter a production and what are their collaborations. Screenings of artists' work will be part of the class followed by a Q&A. Past speakers have included: sound recordist, Chris Newman (The Godfather, Amadeus, The English Patient), producer, Ron Bozman (Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia), cinematographer Gordon Willis (The Godfather, Annie Hall, All the President's Men).
