FMS Senior Capstone

4.0 credits

The FMS Capstone provides a collaborative learning environment in which students have the opportunity to create a sustained project in their senior year. The project will represent a culmination of the student’s creative and academic goals and work within the major. The Capstone includes peer and instructor feedback on works-in-progress, hands-on instruction, workshops with visiting filmmakers and media professionals, and screening and discussion of films relevant to students’ creative work. Student projects may include: a film/video in the categories of narrative, documentary, or experimental; a group of shorter film/video projects in those same categories or shorter-form genres like music video or videographic essay; an article-length research paper.
