    Description
    Students survey business practices of the motion picture industry, including the development, financing, production, and distribution of media content. Through individual and group collaboration in a workshop setting, students create a pre-production business package including a treatment, screenplay, business letter, bio, AD breakdown, production strip board, schedule, budget, storyboards, location sketches, and movie poster. Students work in groups to create and deliver a verbal pitch and presentation for a short film to an industry panel.
