RTVF 147 - Directing for the Screen

Semester Hours: 3


Periodically

The film director’s creative vision provides the unifying principle in the process of making a film while collaborating with the many creative talents involved in production. You will perform exercises and create projects focusing on working with actors, script analysis, casting, rehearsal, production design, cinematography, location sound, and editing for performance. You will analyze the work of several directors through clips screened in class. In collaboration with your cinematographer and a small crew and using one location for a one-day shoot, you will direct a five-minute scene from a short story, play, or novel you choose to adapt. The class offers an immersive experience in the director role and prepares you for senior and advanced film projects.
