COMM 3506 - Pre-Production Planning for Film and Video

3 cr. 3 hr. Day course offered every Semester.

Pre-Production Planning for Film & Video is an intermediate level course that considers the intent, social and cultural implications and purpose of a message as the first step in media production. The course focuses on clearly defining message content, intent and audience as a precursor to an exploration of how particular film and video techniques communicate and are interpreted. Teams will subsequently develop the pre-production planning needed for a short film, including idea development, script treatments, story development, script writing, rewriting, storyboarding, script breakdown, production scheduling and resource planning.
