Req 3 — Pick a Production View
3.
Do ONE of the following:
You must choose exactly one option from this requirement. One path lets you observe moviemaking in the real world. The other helps you understand a major camera tool that changes how shots look and feel.
Your Options
- Req 3a — Visit a Working Set: Watch a real production environment, notice the crew roles, and learn how many decisions happen before a scene is captured. This option builds observation skills and shows how teamwork shapes film and television.
- Req 3b — Understand the Zoom Lens: Study the parts and function of a zoom lens so you can explain how focal length changes the image. This option builds camera knowledge and helps you make smarter shot choices.
How to Choose
Comparing the two paths
Pick the option that best matches your access and interests
- Access needed: Req 3a depends on permission, scheduling, and an actual production visit. Req 3b can often be completed with a camera, lens, or solid demonstration from your counselor.
- What you will gain: Req 3a teaches how productions really operate as teams. Req 3b teaches how optics affect framing, perspective, and storytelling.
- Best fit for you: Choose Req 3a if you love seeing the full process. Choose Req 3b if you want a deeper camera-skills foundation.
Whichever path you choose, you are moving from making your own project to understanding the wider world of moviemaking.
