CE 0933 - From Script to Screen
Course Description
5-Session Course
In this class students will gain a clear understanding of the steps involved in screenwriting and production, while creating short professional quality, independent video projects. Footage can be captured using digital cameras, webcams or even cell phones to create projects such as traditional narrative shorts, promotional videography for real-world clients, or personal website content. Through an exploration of the 'traditional' filmmaking production model, students will learn about the roles of those involved on a professional film set, re-thinking these concepts in a way that can be applied to individual workflows. The goal is to achieve more autonomy as a videographer, as well as a high level of production value with the equipment available to you. So much is possible in this exciting age of video field production technology. With a camera, or with a cell phone, this class is about YOUR vision, YOUR voice and YOUR independent video project!
