FILMMAKING 7
Point of View (POV)
In this project, students learn how to create audience empathy for a character by understanding the character’s point of view, through the use of in-depth character development, the POV shot, shot size, eye- line, camera height, movement, over-the-shoulder shots, lighting, color and contrast.
Semester One Film
This project is a narrative digital lm project of up to 10 minutes, utilizing the visual storytelling tools of the rst quarter and the techniques of directing actors learned in the second quarter.
Virtual Reality (VR)
In this project, students will immerse their audience
in the storytelling process by giving them a 360° experience into the world of their story. Students will have the opportunity to explore the story from all angles and take their skills to a new level.
Commercial
In this workshop-based project, students will get the chance to further explore the world of short narrative under the supervision of their directing and camera instructors. As commercial directors, students will gain further understanding of working with limited time and space and how to get their idea across in a concise and clear way.
Year One Intermediate Film
Students produce a fully-realized short lm that demonstrates his or her own artistic vision and point-of-view. Students work with larger crews, more professional equipment and with more time allotted for pre-production, production and post-production than the previous projects.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, students will craft their lm from idea to screen. Showcasing the students’ storytelling skills, the thesis lm will serve as a calling card as they journey into the industry to pursue their careers.
