Directing Fundamentals

FTV1011

This course in directing is critical for aspiring writers, directors, producers and other creative practitioners involved in the interpretive process. 

Directing takes students through their first journey in independent film production by providing them with the fundamental knowledge, skills, and experience to produce a zero-budget short film. By the end of the term, students have taken a film from the script stage all the way to production and be ready to take it into the next stage of post-production and distribution.

Students learn the following disciplines:

Visualization tools.
Professional casting processes, contracts.
Table readings, read-throughs, blocking, rehearsals and recording.
Different roles among staff at all levels within film and television production.
