I LOVED this class, but I'm also very passionate about film. Julia is an AMAZING professor and gives fun projects--well I liked the projects. Class was very long and split into two parts. The first half she would teach using slides and the second part we would practice what was taught. This was a hands-on type of class. For example, we gathered into groups and made a short film on a scene that required specific lighting. The majority of the grade was based of off projects and the final. KNOW everything she teaches bc it will be tested on. She does not allow for pictures to be taken of her slides and hates phone being out, which is understandable. Show up to class ON TIME bc she will mark you absent.
