Film Core
The CFS Film Core is the set of classes all CFS students take in their first year.
FVM 105 , FVM 160 and FVM 136 are all taken together, usually in the first semester . Students develop characters and script outlines in 136 that they use in 105 to create their productions. The projects are edited in FVM 160. These classes are designed to be taken together to develop cinematic storytelling skills and original productions.
FVM 150 is an analysis of film language course examining how directors use technical and aesthetic choices to create subtext. FVM 117 is an introduction as to what constitutes real or believable behavior (“acting”) for the screen that is surprising, original and true.
Some students choose to take 117 and 150 before they go into the Prod I sequence so that their Prod I projects are as good as they can be.
Program Level Outcomes (PLOs)
Statements which articulate, in measurable terms, what students should know and be able to demonstrate as a result of and at the conclusion of a program. PLOs communicate program goals explicitly and foster transfer of responsibility for learning from faculty to students.
- Exhibit mastery of skills in the art of visual storytelling from a creative and technical perspective
- Personify best practices of professionalism in regards to set etiquette and protocol
- Demonstrate commitment to industry safety standards, including physical, emotional and interpersonal
