In crews of four students, every student will produce, direct and edit five short B&W reversal non-sync films. Students will rotate through a variety of different crew positions. The first three projects are silent; the fourth incorporates either sound effects, narration or music; the fifth allows the student to use multiple tracks. Students follow specific exercises with technical guidelines but are encouraged to express themselves creatively. Visual storytelling from a broad spectrum of aesthetic approaches is a central focus of this class. Collaboration with fellow students is a central component in this class. All student work is screened and critiqued in class. During the first week of class students will be advised about purchasing a required light meter.
