MCA B6200 Directing Fiction

Emphasis is on script analysis and shaping actors' performance for the camera. Class time is turned into a workshop where students direct scenes from published screenplays. Students who are in the Directing Fiction track will additionally shoot an "Instant Film": they are given one week to prepare, 3 hours to shoot, and one week to edit their film. For each film specific guidelines relating to 'mise-en-scène' are given to its directors to challenge their artistic inclination and aesthetics. Required for Fiction Production Students.
