Filmmaking
Filmmaking In this course students will gain a theoretical understanding of the ways moving images and sounds communicate, as well as practical experience creating time-based work. We will study examples of moving images as we use cameras, sound recorders, and non-linear editing software to produce our own series of short works. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the possibilities of the medium through experimentation, analysis, and detailed feedback while exploring different facets of cinematic communication.
This class was lots of fun and I would recommend anyone interested in learning about the filmmaking process! Professor Hardy was great and highly engaging. Very project heavy and takes time up outside of class. I would recommend knowing a thing or two about using premiere pro.
This course was so incredibly project intensive. The professor has you create a short film every single week and that becomes very taxing as they take a lot of time to film. Additionally, these short films require a lot of participation from people not in your class, and that requires a lot of favors.
Professor Hardy is the best film Professor I could have asked for. Despite a never ending flow of projects and group assignments, he was extremely accommodating and willing to provide extra support outside of class. He's also just such a great personality to have around! Expect lots of time in the editing room and be willing to make friends with your classmates since collaboration is key if you want to manage your time well.

Professor Hardy is knowledgable and knows his stuff but he didnt adjust grading standard to accomidate the fact that its an intro level film class. He is accommodating and gives support if you ask and attend office hours. He's also has a great character
This is a class that is very project heavy-- all of the assignments in this class are creative film projects. As a film major, this was really essential in learning more about camera operation with the FS5 and I felt really free to be creative in my projects. This was my second class with David and he was a fantastic professor-- I would highly recommend taking anything he teaches.
I personally love the class and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in filmmaking. David is such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor and he goes over a lot of different styles/modes of filmmaking. It's a very project and group project-oriented class and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing! Filmmakers are in the end collaborators and you will get to know your classmates very well and become friends with them in the end.
