Hybrid program sign-in location: Music Building, room 0039
Our remote morning workshops are interactive, creative learning experiences where students will participate from home in every class, and interact with their teacher and classmates, as they plan for the day’s in-person film shoot.
Each lesson will feature live instruction, pre-taped examples and slideshows, as well as small group breakout meetings, and web-based support for independent practice.
Note: All students will be expected to spend additional time on their films outside of class hours (i.e. writing, editing, filming).
In the afternoon hybrid students will meet up on campus to practice the day’s film concept. Remote students are encouraged to work independently.

- 10:00 - 10:30 am: All Class Lesson
- 10:30 - 11:00 am: Breakout Meetings (2-4 students with rotating instructor visits.)
