SCRW 325 Film Set: Rules, Etiquette, and Survival Tips
This 8 week course will introduce students to the realities of working on a film, TV, or other media production set, unique in so many ways being an integral part of what is both a highly artistic and a light manufacturing industry. Students will learn about the various departments (camera, art, sound, etc.,) learn the skills, rules, and etiquette of "set life" culture, and gain real world experience by applying newfound skills and training on an actual set. Upon completion, students will be comfortably prepared to work as a "PA" (Production Assistant - the entry-level position on a film or TV or digital media production set) on local, regional, or national film, TV or other media production sets.
Note: This course counts as Elective Credits for Screenwriting Majors and Minors.
