Pedagogy

The pedagogy used in this course focuses on, both, classroom instruction and hands-on project work.

Of the 25 contact hours per week visualized during the first five trimesters of the course, 15 hours per week are devoted to classroom and 10 hours per week to studio work. In addition, a student is expected to spend time reading related material, writing scripts etc and viewing DVD/CDs on his own or in a group.

Classroom instruction is handled by experienced academics and practitioners from the industry. Project work is also mentored by the faculty. There are group projects where group members keep changing their roles from "director" to "production assistant" for different projects. There are several individual projects as well. The "graduation project" in the last trimester offers the student an opportunity to create a show reel on par with the professionals in the real world.
