The Film Production Thesis I: Pre-Production course provides students with the conceptual and practical foundations required to produce their own film project. Students will consider the creative direction for their projects as they review production phases and begin the pre-production phase of their final project. Project-based learning will encourage students to consider the role collaboration plays in the creative process of filmmaking and implications on their own project as they begin to select team members. The course will also reinforce film production skills as students begin to turn their scripts into a film.
