Advanced Cinematography: Practicum II

(4 Credits)

This advanced production course examines the processes and collaborative practices of cinematography across all stages of production. Designed for Directors of Photography, the course emphasizes the translation of visual concepts into effective on-screen realization through close collaboration with directors, production designers, costume designers, actors, and editors. Weekly sessions function as production meetings with collaborators and include camera and lighting tests, as well as rehearsals with actors throughout the semester, preparing students to serve as Director of Photography on at least one production within the Third-Year Graduate Design/Graduate Acting Collaboration. Prerequisite: Intermediate Cinematography II and permission of the Cinematography Area Head.
