The Capstone course progression in Film & Media Arts is an intensive studio course in which students author a 4-10 minute short film within the modality of their choosing, or alternative, faculty approved creative work, and will result in a public screening of the final project from the enrolled student that will be accompanied by a production and written defense. In the first semester of Capstone, students will conduct the pre-production phase, including concept development, budgeting, casting and crewing, scheduling, and locking all scripted production elements and requisite equipment, as well as the Production Phase, including principal photography (video capture), and the capture of any additional assets including location sound, gathering archival materials, etc.
