Industry Portfolio

This course will refine the skills and materials students need to market themselves as Filmmakers. Students will design and create demo reels, portfolios and written support material in preparation for their future career. The primary focus of the final portfolio is to support their directors cut film with ancillary material developed in the preceding semesters. Individual and group critiques will help students focus their portfolios to meet students' particular needs and goals. Throughout the course, students develop their portfolio through continuous supervised work on their directors cut film; via regular consultations with their designated course professor and program coordinator. Students will refine the media elements specified in their proposal including pre-production and production activities such as story editing, storyboarding, casting, budgeting, scheduling, and shooting. Once the production phase is complete, students populate the portfolio for final screening and evaluation.
