COMM 403 Capstone Project 1: Research and Development
This first course in the capstone sequence focuses on research-based concept development and pre-production for the capstone project in Digital Media and Video Arts. Students conduct extensive research on their topic and create a portfolio of professional research and development materials. Students refine their understanding of the historical and theoretical context of their work in writing to prepare to create their projects. They develop strong proposal writing skills and create pre-production materials (i.e., storyboards, scripts, treatments, schematics, trailers) in a process that includes peer critique and revision. This course, which is part seminar and part workshop, emphasizes entrepreneurship and connections to other disciplines and media. Student projects move into production phase during the second course in this sequence.
