Film Studies 597VP - ST-Adv Vid Production Workshop

In this course we will workshop student media projects - which can take a variety of forms depending on student interests and ambitions - such as short film, documentary, music video, TV or Web Series, etc. The course works as an arena in which students develop production strategies; form a crew; complete production and post-production (by week 10) ? including creation of a soundtrack; run test screenings; develop marketing strategies for distribution and/or festival entries/exhibitions. Course will be a mix of lecture, instruction, guest speakers and filmmakers, screenings, and work-shopping of student projects in an active and highly engaging environment.

Course requires application. Contact Prof. Kevin Taylor Anderson for application form at kta@umass.edu
