This advanced studio course is designed for students who have mastered basic and intermediate production skills and concepts involved in digital production and are interested in developing more complex creative projects that investigate critical, theoretical issues in media production. Students must have taken FILM 185 or equivalent.

In this advanced film production course students produce the 10-20-minute project developed in Film 185, and work as cinematographer, sound designer, production designer, editor or producer in a classmate’s film.

The first post-production phase focuses on rough cuts and the second post-production stage focuses on sound-design and color correction for final cuts.
