IDFLM 3430 Junior Seminar: On & Off The Set
The Junior Seminar will explore all elements of the
pre-production and production processes for the development
and execution of a narrative film. This course will serve as the
theoretical basis for students’ work in Production & Management, and
is aligned to support the success of the production of an original
short, narrative film. Students will work both independently and
collaboratively to develop a script, participate as part of a production
team and edit a film. Each step of these processes will be covered in
depth, including: devising detailed budgets and production plans,
practices associated with developing a working script and pitching a
film, identifying and securing crew members and locations, roles
and responsibilities on the set, and casting and working with actors.
The course will culminate in finished films and a thorough evaluation of
the process.
