This class will work to help directors approach the script/story development process from a conceptual and critical approach aimed towards developing a script with a specific directorial plan. Students adopt film expression skills, acquire a directing skill which will enable them to compete in the AV world and acquire information necessary for the successful execution of their exercises.

A student selects the work on the Atelier exercise or the Documentary project.

The Atelier exercise is based on the pre-set script, which student adapts, and is shot in the pre-defined set built in film studio. The Documentary project is based on the original student's idea.

Students develop an idea and initial story outline for the Short Fiction exercise, which they will be working on in summer semester.
