FILM-671C: Advanced Film Production

This graduate course is an intensive class for upper level production-eligible directors who wish to complete an advanced short film within a single 14 week semester. Films should already have been sufficiently developed (script, treatment, etc) and should only need minimal further story development in the following term, if any. Coursework for this class centers around 1-on-1 meetings with the student's production eligible-instructor of choice. Meetings with the instructor are limited to 7 hours per term, to be utilized in whatever manner the student and instructor see fit. This course is by petition only and requires prior submission of an application in the previous term. Admission to the course is influenced by many factors, such as if the student is already enrolled in a different production course, the timeliness with which the student submitted the request, how sufficiently developed the script the student plans to shoot is, and other considerations. Enrollment to the course is not guaranteed even if seats remain available. Once all seats are taken, no additional seats will be granted even if other applications are pending. Students cannot enroll in multiple sections of this same course. Production Level: 3 and 4
