Starting with the fundamentals, from history and appreciation, to theory and the basics of visual storytelling. This course also allowed me to learn about the full production process starting from ideation, through pre-production, production, and post-production, and ultimately marketing and distribution. I learned a lot about the ecosystem of both studio and independent filmmaking. The capstone project of this program requires students to ideate, write, direct, and create a short film. I took the opportunity to really challenge myself to create something I could be proud of and to learn as many new skills as possible. I used the theory lessons to further train myself and develop skills in script writing, lighting, shooting, editing, and more. Show less
