Brief Biographical Sketch:
Not Available. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)A904: Short Shorts: Making Movies in Cascade! Fall 2011 (Oct. 18, 2011)
Plan a story. Write a screenplay. Get out the camera and film for a day. Movies and television are one of the biggest industries in the United States – but feature length films are only part of the picture. Music videos, commercials, and episodes of TV shows are all part of yet another subset of media: the short film, or short. We hope you’ve got a creative side, because this course is all about the art of producing a short.
Over the course of five weeks, we will make a screenplay, act it out for the camera, and edit the pieces into a short film less than five minutes long. We’ll also get to see a slew of short films and analyze just what makes them effective. The Academy says a short is 40 minutes or less – can you do it in five?
