Introduction to Filmmaking

In this introduction to the art and craft of filmmaking, students develop audio-visual storytelling aesthetics and production workflow techniques, learning basic filmmaking skills through a series of exercises before they plan, shoot, and edit short documentary and narrative films. Students are not required to purchase a lot of film equipment or software for this course as mobile devices enable filmmakers to affordably shoot and edit films. Students reflect on what they have learned as they critique the films they have created.
