The senior theatre project is done under the immediate supervision of a theatre faculty or teaching-staff member in one of these areas: costumes, scenery, lights, properties, makeup, acting, stage management, or directing.

This planning process must be completed no later than May 1 of the junior year. The student will be responsible for doing the research, designing the project and seeing it to completion.

See the director of the theatre for further guidelines and procedures.Prerequisite(s): Permission of the department chair.

FLM 510.S60 (96718), Film History I: European Auteurs Film Survey, (3cr) Tuesdays 8:20-11:10 PM, Lenny Crooks There is an identifiable European way of filmmaking. It has nothing to do with style or genre (although Action films are few and far between). Rather it is about process and priority. Regarding process, there are so many sources of public funding for development that for most distributed films have the writer will have been paid for several drafts. As regards priorities, the director is considered the most important element in a film's creation. So much so that many films are financed on artistic merit without undue consideration of the box office potential of lead cast members. Regardless of who has written the script, a director who has achieved distinction is considered the author or 'Auteur'. At two-week intervals we will screen and discuss a film followed by an analysis of the director's body of work. FLM 650.S60 (#_____) Find Your Story, Write Your Script (3cr.)
