Film Directing
See also, Independent Filmmaking Certificate Program for the aspiring professional or serious amateur interested in writing, directing, producing, and marketing an independent film.
Introduction
Students meet for two six-hour Saturday sessions conducted on campus. Students examine the role of a director in shaping a vision, the organizational and communicative qualities of a good director, and the dual responsibilities of a director as both artist and technician. Topics covered include imagination, leadership, taste, showmanship, expertise in various film-related crafts and subjects, and curiosity, as well as collaboration with producers, assistant directors, actors, and technicians. Also covered are the director’s roles in the three phases of film production: pre-production, which includes story development, scripting, and revision, as well as casting, budgeting, and hiring; production, in which creative work with actors and crew must be kept on schedule; and post-production, which includes hiring an editor, viewing dailies, assembly, and various stages of cutting.
