This course examines every aspect of "film style" motion picture production, utilizing the digital video format. The term film production now describes any production shot with a single camera, using multiple set-ups and post-production editing, and no longer makes a distinction between film and digital camera original. The course concentrates on the aesthetic and technical requirements necessary for the production of motion pictures and the crafts provided by the production personnel. All subjects will be studied in depth on a sophisticated technical and aesthetical level, aiming to inspire even the most eager students. We believe that every student will get benefit from the course: those entering the profession will be gaining valuable knowledge and experience while adding to their portfolios, and others who choose allied careers will become more learned audiences who expand the awareness and intelligent appreciation of the motion picture medium. All students will gain the advantage provided by their exposure to the discipline, responsibility, dedication, and professional standards associated with filmmaking.
