Intended for advanced Film Media Theater students, this course will explore scripted television series production through an immersive hands-on process. We will work as a class to write and produce an original limited scripted television series, modeling the industry by creating our own "writers' room" and shooting/editing four short episodes. In addition to weekly screenings of popular scripted television series within an array of genres, this class will consist of lectures on advanced filmmaking techniques, working with actors, table readings of scripts, and critiques of footage and various cuts.

This course is limited to FMT majors and minors only.; Prereq: FMT-240VP.

Five College students: Open to Five College Film majors. Others majors require instructor permission.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
