The idea of treatment strategy expands in the 2nd year to include the practical and aesthetic requirements of a coherent style. The course provides students a close examination of film techniques that combine to create a particular film style. The techniques include casting, location, production design, camera, lighting, mise en scene, sound design and editing.  Each week is devoted to a different element.  The objective, finally, is to give students an authority over their thinking and ultimately over their directing so that the choices made converge to reveal dexterity, precision and narrative integration.
