As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance or reduce a student's ability to participate in daily activities. Amarillo College offers services to assist you with addressing these and other concerns you may be experiencing. If you or someone you know are suffering from any of the aforementioned conditions, you can learn more about the broad range of confidential mental health services available on campus by calling the AC Counseling Center at 806-371-5900.

Tutoring for Success applies to any student whose overall performance in the course falls below 75%. The instructor will create the task in the Student Engagement Portal (Watermark) to direct the student to the appropriate tutoring service, which may be faculty- or SI-led, discipline-specific, and/or general. The tutoring service assigned, the due date for when the tutoring must be completed, and the amount of tutoring required are at the discretion of the instructor. Additionally, the task will alert the student’s success team. Students who do not fulfill the assigned tutoring task may be subject to program- and course-specific penalties that could result in a grade reduction and/or in not being allowed to progress in the course until the tutoring requirement has been satisfied.
Students who do not attend class on or prior to the census date will be administratively dropped. Effective Fall, 2016
Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete all steps indicated on the Academic Withdrawal Request form by the course withdrawal deadline.
NOTE: Students who are attending Texas institutions of higher education, for the first time fall 2007 and later, may not withdraw from more than six courses during their academic career. This withdrawal limitation does not include dual credit or developmental classes (Senate Bill 1231 Rule 4.10.)

Film Directing: Shot by Shot by Steve D. Katz
Students will be required to use a camera for various projects. They will also need access to a computer as well as an external hard drive of some sort to store filmed footage.
Students will understand how to create a story structure, script, and production plan and execute said plan for filming a video project.
Students learn how to safely and properly work with professional and pro-sumer cameras, audio equipment, and lighting gear.
Students will learn the creative and technical process of editing with professional software, including properly getting media in, working with it, and outputting in the right formats for various venues.
Even for those not going into the film/television fields, many types of jobs at times require creating or modifying some sort of audiovisual media – here students get acquainted with the full range of skills needed to do this. Including, but not limited to, writing client proposals, preparing storyboards, and shot lists.
Those with prior experience in filmmaking (e.g., from high school or self-taught) will deepen their knowledge base, fill in the gaps, and improve their creative abilities and technical craft. Those without any prior training will obtain the tools they need to take an audiovisual project from start to finish.
All students will come out with multiple completed works of their own across a wide variety of content mediums, and or genres. Students will also work on projects in group.
Regardless of major or prior background, students explore their own creative impulses with projects built around their individual concerns, artistic voice, and feelings.
In order to receive your AC Connect Email, you must log in through AC Connect at https://acconnect.actx.edu .
If you are an active staff or faculty member according to Human Resources, use "Exchange". All other students, use "AC Connect (Google) Email".
- You are strongly encouraged to assist and cooperate on one another's projects. However, all you course work in this class must be your original work and must be shot by yourself. Plagiarism, borrowing a story idea or storyboards from somebody else, and hiring a director or cinematographer for your projects is strictly prohibited. Please note that during class we might help each other come up with a story idea or find ways to enhance it, but work of writing/filming/executing the idea must come from each student.
- Always submit your papers, treatments, and projects on time to get full grade consideration and to be screened in class.
- If you miss class, you are still responsible to submit work that is due. All course work turned in after the due date will be downgraded 1 full letter grade/ after 1 week you will receive 0 credit. Please discuss in advance of your absence if at all possible.
- Assume that the course material is new to all students. Accordingly, I expect most students to do better at the end of the course than at the beginning.
- To help you improve as a shooter, designer, and overall craft creator, I will make "critical" comments on your work. These comments should not be taken personally; they are indications of areas on which you need to work. It is your responsibility as a student to ask questions when they arise, or if there are areas that you know you may need help with do not hesitate to ask.
- Each student should keep a dedicated notebook for this course. The notes and work you do during this course will allow you to take this knowledge and implicate it in real world situations and jobs. Take this knowledge and use it.
- Be on time. This field and career path is pressed for time, and time is money. Class starts promplty at the designated time, unless told otherwise by the instructor, and if there are videos to be shown they should be exported and ready to play when class begins.
- Please contact me if you need help or have any questions.
