Course Description

In the second part of the Directing Workshop series, participants complete short narrative films using their own digital video camera. Focusing on storytelling, instruction teaches participants how to apply the principles and essential elements of dramatic structure and character development to the filmmaking principles explored in X 476.95 Directing Workshop I: Composition and Movement. Through increasingly complex filmmaking assignments, participants discover how to combine key elements, such as casting, working with actors, shot selection, sync-sound, and music to communicate the themes, conflict, and story arcs that create compelling narrative for a visual medium. Student work is screened and critiqued by the instructor and class.
