Course notes
This practice-based, film production course builds on the foundations of what students learned in semester one. Filmmaking is an iterative process and with every project you'll build experience and develop your skills and experience. This course is a chance to make bigger film projects, work in larger teams, and further specialize in particular roles. As we progress to making higher quality films, the technical equipment and workflows become more advanced, the shooting formats are higher quality, and students get more time for project development, and hands-on experience with the equipment. Rather than using the more traditional lecture and workshop approach, this course consists primarily of practical workshops which allow students to fine-tune and develop not only their technical skills but also their abilities as creative collaborators.
While semester one is focused on learning new technical systems and professional industry processes, semester two is about using that experience to create higher quality films and develop positive and effective working relationships that are fundamental to film production teams and the basis of success in the film industry.
