Advanced Film/Video Projects I
Course Description
Summary
This semester-length, 2-credit course, intended for students who will continue to the Advanced Projects in Film/Video II course in spring 2023, supports advanced students in planning, pre-production, and early production (or for 8th term students, post-production and finishing) for more complex, larger-scale, longer-duration, self-directed film/video projects. It also includes a screening series where we watch and analyze feature and mid-length films. Advanced Projects courses are designed to help you think through your advanced work and remain accountable to your own best timeline for completing it.
