Through a dynamic combination of in-class presentations, technique-building exercises, and informative discussions, Story Development and Project Production immerses students in the process of developing a story idea and putting it into production as a nonfiction or fictional narrative video work. Over the seven weeks, students advance a term project that may be a complete short story, or a scene or pitch reel for a longer project. Participants focus on defining and structuring compelling narratives with a scene-based, character-driven approach that engages viewers, avoiding the pitfalls of stories that tell rather than show. Through intensive development of a self-driven personal project, students discover their storytelling identity and deepen their digital video practice.
