| COMM 280 - Introduction to Film Production |
|
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. Possible field trips
and guest lecturers may further enhance the learning opportunities. Note: Students may
not receive credit for this course and COMM 266 Field Production I.
