FT 112 HOSTING II
A continuation of basic hosting skills, this course guides students
as they take their hosting talents out of the home and into the
world of capitalism. Explore the opportunities available on community
television and learn how to conceptualize and finance a local
access show that spotlights your specific hosting strength, whether
it be cooking, making small talk, or introducing questionable
musical and comedic performers.
FT 114 HOSTING IV
Designed for the advanced host, this course allows students to
intern as a Junior Host for a nationally televised home shopping
network - the pinnacle of the hosting pyramid. Learn to genuinely
love everything and talk about this love incessantly. Plus, discover
the hidden selling points of broken merchandise. This course is
open only to students who possess a precise amount of pride: not
too much, not too little, but especially not too much.
FT 444 SCI FI UNIVERSE
Extremely popular survey course screens some of the most shocking
science fiction films ever made. We'll start by watching the 1908
blockbuster film The Electrical Photographer, the first film ever
made which showed an early form of what would later become TV;
just a strange box that could show you the world and beyond. We'll
then screen films from popular sci fi subthemes like: the rocket,
the submarine, the underwater tunnel, the malevolent robot, the
death ray or device, first contact, astronauts, red and blue lasers,
weird and/or horrifying alien beings, mysterious traveler, and
the time machine. We'll also view digitally altered copies of
sci fi crossover films like Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953)
and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964). Finally, see why
sci fi's most appealing subtheme is the prediction of humanity's
future. Films from Metropolis (1926) to Brave New World (1998)
have profited by showing us our horrible demise for years. These "futuristic films" might even "shock you"
with their strange portrayal of an almost familiar, clinical,
logical, mathematical, robotic, "soulless" planet. Course
taught by a failed independent filmmaker who still has "friends" in
L.A.
FT 457
FILM PRACTICUM
Students in the Film Practicum are forced to work in small groups
to write, produce, shoot, edit, and screen a very short independent
film. One group member should be rich enough to finance the project,
while the other four members will be required to fight over who
gets to direct. Each group will be issued an appropriate faculty
advisor (a failed Hollywood filmmaker in their own right) who
will do his or her best to challenge you at every turn; from questioning
your artistic integrity to encouraging you to drop out of the
program altogether. The final film must be so artsy that it can
be interpreted as either completely adolescent or absolutely brilliant.
Though they probably won't be accepted, students may enter their
final projects in the University's annual Third-Run Film Festival.
Note: For the faculty's sanity, films may not run longer than
8 minutes. No exceptions!
