This course strengthens basic skills acquired in Principles of Video Production, and builds on them to further develop a deep understanding of the end-to-end workflow needed to make a professional film (fiction or nonfiction). Extensive hands-on and practical skill-development will be provided in three distinct areas: (1) pre-production, including idea-development, research, budgeting, pitching, grant-writing, storyboarding, etc; (2) production, covering advanced cinematography, sound recording, lighting, interviewing, directing, etc; (3) post-production, including professional editing workflows, soundtrack development, color correction, etc.

Courses will be developed from time to time which examine various aspects of film studies, focusing on different problems, phenomena, practices and personalities. These are taught by permanent or visiting faculty, and will be generally specific to their specialization.
