Student in the Cinema Arts class will be required to produce and submit a short film to a film festival. I am compiling a list of festivals for students to choose from, but you may also submit to more than one.
Deadlines for these festivals vary, but most have deadlines that range from February to May. Because deadlines change, festivals become defunct or new ones come up, and festival websites aren't always updated after the last current film fest, we will have to do some research about the particulars.
This is your chance to put to use everything you learned in Video Production class last year. You know the fundamentals of how videos are made, and what it takes to make it good (idea, time, energy, collaboration) and you will now practice making videos with an eye for good production and entertainment value.
Even if your film is not accepted to the film festival, it is good experience preparing a piece of work for a deadline. Keeping your deadlines is extremely important for your success as an artist of any kind, but especially in the collaborative arts such as film and theater.
By September 1st you should have a rough idea of your project, which should include your film's genre, a synopsis and outline.
We will be discussing more about this project in class.
Visual & Performing Arts Standards: 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 5.0
