Description
This course serves as an introduction to the art of film narrative. Students will review the basics of film production and collaboration, learn to analyze scripts in some detail, and study the principles of successful stories in the course of putting them into practice in their own work. As the semester progresses time will be taken to study contemporary practices in fact and fiction storytelling, and students will learn to incorporate the traditional elements of narrative fiction film – staging, framing, scripting – into work that begins to press at film’s capacity to record the world objectively.
