This is a comprehensive, project-oriented, hands-on course that builds on the skills and knowledge in digital video production/ editing from previous semesters/ courses and demonstrates how to work in the professional filmmaking/screen industries. This 3rd semester course immerses students in all phases of production for digital media projects. It includes narrative, documentary (factual), artistic and commercial genres. In Production Lab, students will work on (self inspired or external) original developed projects by creating a shooting script, location scouting, casting talent, rehearsing, blocking, directing actors, working on a crew and completing the projects. The course requires the students to apply all the processes covered in 1st and 2nd year video courses. These projects will demonstrate the necessity of collaboration between all of the production departments. Students will assume the positions of the producer, writer, director, director of photography, production manager, assistant director, camera operator, DIT, camera assistant, grip, gaffer, script supervisor, sound recordist, and editor. Productions may require an additional monetary contribution per student to off-set the production costs.
