FILM 450 FA

This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of how films are made. The course provides technical training and practical experience in the 16mm film format, including lighting, cinematography, sound recording, and editing. Through a series of exercises and in-class critique sessions, students will also refine their critical and aesthetic sensibilities and develop a basic understanding of story structure and directing. The course includes an introduction to digital non-linear editing, and examines the differences between film and video. Time demands are heavy and irregularly distributed.
