An introduction to the basic technologies, theories and production practices of single camera, “short subject” location filmmaking. Students write scripts, choose shots, direct actors and use a variety of devices and techniques to record motion picture and audio elements. Projects are edited using professional computer software and all student works are screened and critiqued by the class. A significant hands-on laboratory component is augmented by in-depth lectures and discussions that explore film aesthetics, design and the cultural-historical context of film as a communication medium.
