This is a semester-long course designed to cover the two separate but related areas of:

1. All facets of movie production, including script writing, working with talent, camera work, sound, directing, locations, costume, props, and post-production editing. Genres studied include shorts, feature films, documentaries, and music videos. The course will involve hands-on, small team experience developing production timelines and filming with DSLR cameras after review of best practice examples of each motion picture type. Instruction in post-production editing techniques will be taught to allow finished products to be shown to the local community and/or entered into film showcases and festivals.

2. Work designed to create a live-streaming channel dedicated to live and recorded content centered on the Walker’s student experience. It includes aspects of studio work, live interviews, field recording, content production, show hosting, script writing, and all in front of camera and behind camera functions. The goal is to produce shows that air routinely in a published schedule that reflect the interests of the participating students and that mimic an in-house television station broadcast on a streaming platform.
