Description
In this advanced subject, students explore a broad range of sophisticated approaches to the elegant use of the camera to visually portray a film's narrative beyond the conventional Hollywood approach. Students will produce a short film to apply these techniques, and develop a style of their own. Students also learn the essential skills of showrunning, and explore how showrunners work with writers, directors, and producers to create compelling, and engaging shows on television or streaming services.
