164+Syllabus


 **Course Description CRTV164** (Transfer:CSU / Prereq: CRTV 157 F with a grade of "C" or better) This course is designed for advanced students to develop and demonstrate professional level skills, preparation for employment, and advanced single-camera production and post-production authorship.

This class will focus a great deal of time on producing. We will spend time planning, writing, re-writing, scouting, story-boarding, researching, and scheduling.

We will function as a working production crew. The first hour of class will be designated for production meetings and "Production Tips and Tricks". The second and third hours will be used for pre-production, research, lab work, editing and one on one collaboration. It is absolutely imperative that you use your time wisely. Class participation by all crew members is necessary for the success of the entire crew. Therefore attendance is MANDATORY. Students can be dropped at the instructors discretion, after the second unexcused absence.

A total of 400 points over five projects will be available. Your grade for the class is based solely on points you accumulate on your projects. There will be no tests or other assignments. During the semester you will be in various stages of production on multiple projects and you will always have something to do during lab time. Use your time wisely! You should have ample time to complete your project during the class lab time. Should you need additional lab time, you will need to arrange it based on the lab calendar. THERE WILL BE NO LATE PROJECTS ACCEPTED!
 * Points and Projects**

All projects will be turned in on a DVD created in DVD Studio Pro. A 10% deduction will be taken for all projects turned in in any other format. Projects will not be accepted on USB memory sticks.
