MCG 511 - Directing the Narrative Film (3)

An introduction to directing for film. We will cover all the things it takes to direct a short or feature-length film such as developing a visual language, understanding subtext, learning to direct actors, and executing the theme of your film through directing choices. Each student will be responsible for directing one project that will be submitted to the Highbridge Film Festival or other festival approved by your graduate advisor. In addition, we will be doing in-class workshops that cover actor coaching, creating shot lists and storyboards, and re-writing. On-campus only.
