FMS 311 - Advanced Filmmaking

This course is focused on the development of a filmmaking practice. Students learn the iterative process of audiovisual storytelling by embracing risk, failure, and constructive feedback among peers as necessary to the creative process. Students will learn to construct short films through all three stages of production, building skills in camerawork, editing, use of artificial lighting, and sound design. Students also learn traditional three-act structure as part of larger scale works. Assignments include progressively complex short films and video art.
