Advanced Film Production - Non-Fiction: Pre-Production
Course Description
Non-Fiction Advanced Film Productions (AFPs) are peer-mentoring environments provided by the Media Arts Department and initiated by Media Arts majors. While the student initiating a Non-Fiction AFP assumes the primary responsibility for interacting with the Department, the process is collaborative. These advanced projects are generally culminating experiences at the end of a student's undergraduate work (similar to a senior project). Each Non-Fiction AFP comes with associated coursework, class credit, and departmental supervision. Non-Fiction AFPs also receive a large amount of departmental support, through equipment access and funding. This class covers Pre-Production.
