In this hands-on film production class, students will learn filmmaking fundamentals, and explore how to apply those principles when creating film projects using tools such as iPhones, consumer cameras, and FCP X. Within the course, we will also explore how new tools and technologies offer opportunities for innovation in aesthetic and narrative forms.
