camera operation, lighting, audio recording,
scripting, non-linear editing, special effects,
and audio mixing. We’ll give you several
shooting and editing assignments that help

knowledge will be used to make a single
polished, high-quality short film. Grading is

performance on written exams.

through the filmmaking process. Grading
is based on the quality of work produced,
the quality and timeliness of intermediate
stages, and a written production journal.
