FILM 2550 GFA Film Practicum/Internship
This program is offered in collaboration with the Georgia Film Academy. Through cooperative agreements among the film industry, the GFA, and the student, the practicum provides students the opportunity to work on an actual film or television production and demonstrate production techniques learned in
FILM 1100. The four week on-set assignment provides students a real world environment in which to practice production assistant skills in a hands-on situation. Students work under the supervision of a film industry professional, who monitors their progress, while the students keeps a journal of their day to day experiences. Topics include: demonstrating film production functions, applying film knowledge and skills in the workplace, listening and following directions, and modeling professional work habits. Students will also complete a two day course in OSHA safety tailored to motion picture production.
