FILM TESTS

2006 -- class

If you do not miss classes, read the textbook, do your homework -- the tests will be easy. Read the webpages for Directing class, read the tests (samples), read the archive messages from the previous class -- everything you need to know is out there. You do not have any background in acting, read acting pages. If never directed anything on stage -- stage directing (Stagematrix). Never wrote anything? Start writing your short movie right now (on the first day of classes). More drafts you have, better the grade. I grade the progress, not talents; challenge yourself! Must know the termilogy (take other film classes, see 200X Aesthetics and Film analysis). I try to put everything on the Internet, to save ourselves time in class for exer. and discussions. Use the links. Home tests are "hometake." Post your "director's resume" (first week), for me and everybody in class to know where you are coming from (required). groups.yahoo.com/group/yahoo-cls-directing class egroup
