Students use the theatre spaces and assume leadership positions in order to get hands-on experience within their craft. Some rules and regulations must be established to maintain order, cleanliness, and above all safety in our theatre spaces and other work environments. The following Handbook contains procedures, regulations, and guidelines for maintaining an optimal work environment and for promoting the education of students in theatre arts. 3 Adopted 10/12/87 Revised 08/15/ 2014 CODE OF ETHICS Theatre Arts Catawba College Part of the great tradition of the theatre is a code of ethics which belongs to all who work on the legitimate stage. This code reflects an attitude toward craftsmanship, a respect for associates, and a dedication toward the audience. It outlines a self-discipline which, far from robbing one of individuality, increases personal self-esteem and dignity through cooperation and common purpose. All those who participate in Catawba The- atre Arts activities are expected to follow this Code of Ethics. The Show Must Go On! I shall always be on time for a crew call, rehearsal or performance. I shall work at every rehearsal, performance, and technical responsibility to the best of my ability, regardless of how small my role or large my personal problems. I shall respect my audience regardless of size or station. I shall never miss an entrance or cause a curtain to be late by my failure to be ready. I shall forego all social activities which interfere with crew work or rehearsals and will always be on time. I shall remain in the theatre building or stage area until I have completed my rehearsal or responsibilities. I will not leave the Theatre space until I am released by my director, stage manager or supervisor. I shall not allow the comments of friends, relatives or critics to change any phase of my work without proper authorization. I will not alter lines, business, lights, properties, settings, costumes or any phase of the production without consultation with and permission from the director. I shall accept the director's, choreographer's, designer's and technical director's advice in the spirit in which it is given for they see the production as a whole and my role as a portion thereof. I shall look upon the production as an ensemble effort and do my best to support others. I shall be patient and avoid temperamental outbursts, for they create tension and serve no useful purpose. I shall respect the play and the playwright, remembering that "A work of art is not a work of art until it is finished." I shall accept artistic responsibility and shall never blame my co-workers or inanimate objects for my own failure. I shall never engage in caustic criticism of another artist's work from jealousy or an urge to increase my own prestige. I shall encourage the public to respect me and my craft through graciousness in accepting both praise and constructive criticism. I shall use the set, stage properties and costumes with care, knowing they are tools of my craft and a vital part of the production. I shall observe backstage courtesy and shall comport myself in strict compliance with the rules and regulations of the Catawba College theatre program. I shall observe the rules of the College Community Center, FBC, Na Theatre Arts Annex involving the use of the buildings and their hours of operation. I shall avoid restricted areas unless I am given permission to be in those areas and I will encourage others to do the same. 4 I shall maintain my commitment to the theatre in spite of disappointment or failure for they are the lessons by which I learn. I shall observe the smoking/no smoking areas as designated. I am aware that the Theatre Callboard and the Catawba College email system are our official channels of communication and will be fully responsible for any and all information posted thereon. I shall meet all deadlines and responsibilities as assigned. I shall avoid all behavior that is detrimental to the well-being and reputation of the Theatre Arts Department, its students and faculty. I shall look upon my participation in a production as an educational experience and will attend the critique. I shall attend and participate fully in strike and carry out all duties assigned by my supervisor(s) to the best of my ability. I shall direct my efforts in such a manner that when I leave the theatre will stand as a greater institution for my having labored there. I shall follow Stanislavski's admonition to "love the art in you, not yourself in the art!" I realize that the following behavior is unprofessional and may result in my being dismissed from the cast or crew: o Possession, use or abuse of drugs or alcohol on theatre premises. o Stealing, defacing or destroying personal or college property, including costumes, props, etc. A major violation of the Catawba College Theatre Code of Ethics. I shall deal responsibly with the above. If necessary, a breach of conduct may be reported to the Theatre Arts chair, a Theatre Arts Faculty person, or a member of the Theatre Arts Student Advocacy Committee. 5 EVACUATION PROCEDURES Florence Busby Corriher Theatre 6 Community Center (including Keppel Auditorium, Hedrick Little Theatre, and Crystal Peeler Lounge) 7 Theatre Arts Annex 8 SHOP SAFETY PROCEDURES When working in any shop area, it is essential that students and professors adhere to certain shop safety rules. While safety rules differ from shop to shop, it is important always to be aware of your work area and fellow workers. As a wise professor is known to say: “Work smarter, not harder!” General Scene Shop Safety Guidelines: Electronic devices, especially cell phones are not permitted in any of the shops without special permission. Wear appropriate clothes for working in the shop o Closed toe shoes - Steel toed boots are preferable o No baggy clothing or otherwise hazardous accessories (scarves, dangling jewelry, etc.) that could get caught. o Comfortable clothing that is not too restrictive of movement o Tie back long hair o Clothing that can get dirty When using power tools, wear appropriate safety gear o ALWAYS wear safety goggles . It is acceptable for students to own their own safety glasses, however , these must be approved by the Shop Manager . The Scene Shop will provide safety goggles to every student assigned to the area. Please see the Shop Manager for location and storage instructions. o The Scene Shop provides disposable ear protection. Wear appropriate hearing protection when necessary. o When working in dusty areas, wear a dust mask o When working with spray paint or other fumes, wear a respirator Do not leave extension cords or pneumatic hoses lying around when not in use as this causes a tripping hazard Do not leave lumber or other large materials in precarious places (ex. Leaning against a wall) Nails, screws, and staples should be removed from all lumber during strike; however, please check all lumber for missed hardware before cutting. Always work in well ventilated spaces Inspect tools before use for any defects or possible hazards Follow all manufacture safety procedures as laid out to you by your supervisor or through stagecraft. Do not work with the fly system unless trained to do so and then, only with supervision and following proper procedures. Please keep the shop CLEAN and devoid of tripping, falling, spilling or other hazards Refer all questions and further safety concerns to the shop manager If a tool breaks or needs replacing fill out appropriate forms found in Appendix A General Costume Shop Guidelines: 9 Electronic devices, especially cell phones are not permitted in any of the shops without special permission.

    USC School of Cinematic Arts Production Planning CTPR 425 SYLLABUS Fall 2007 Instuctor: Robert Brown CTPR 425 Production Planning Syllabus How do you turn a script into a film? This course will attempt to answer that question by examining the process of production planning for film. By the end of the semester, each student should not only have a conceptual grasp of how to line, breakdown, schedule, and budget a screenplay, but also have the practical skill to actually do it. Our goal, however, is not to make you into professional production managers, but rather to introduce you to the basic principles of production planning. Although, there are differences in scale and detail, the processes involved are essentially the same whether one is making a major studio feature, a low-budget feature, a movie-of-the-week, an episodic television show, an educational film, an industrial film, or a student film. Using a script from a one-hour episodic television show, each class member will line a script, make a production board, a day-out-of-days, and develop a shooting schedule. The class will also examine actual film budgets for both a large studio release and a low budget independent, account by account, in order to reach an understanding of the various elements that go into the making of a film. Grading Criteria In an effort to make the grading process as fair and objective as possible, I will use the following method. Assignments (Total Possible Points - 100) The five projects will be due at various times during the term.

  • The Director in the Classroom

    The Director in the Classroom

    • 29 The Director in the Classroom How Filmmaking Inspires Learning Nikos Theodosakis • 29 3 How Filmmaking Develops Higher Order Thinking Skills In this chapter, we look at some of the ways that filmmaking helps develop higher order thinking skills. The filmmaking process in the classroom invites a variety of skills to be explored and developed as the students journey from the creation of the original idea to the first presentation and beyond. Visioning Skills Filmmaking is about turning the intangible into the tangible. Regardless of the size of the film, whether it’s Ben Hur or My Science Experiment, movies start with that wonderful thing called “the idea.” As the idea formulates in the mind of the filmmaker, a vision of the final film begins to develop. When the idea becomes a script, the chal- lenge for directors is to hold a clear picture in their minds of what they want to communicate and then to guide their crew towards that vision. The goal of the filmmaking process and all involved is to put that vision on the screen. When students create a film, it is an opportunity for them to develop a vision of what they want to explore and to see how the vision changes or remains the same as they set out and make it happen. It is practice in turning the intangible into the tangible. It’s also about learning the process of looking at where you want to be, looking at where you are now, and constructing a plan to connect the two. The skill of working backwards from a goal, and translating it into a plan of action, can be transplanted for personal achievement in many fields.
  • The Director's Method in Contemporary Visual Effects Film

    The Director's Method in Contemporary Visual Effects Film

    The Director’s Method in Contemporary Visual Effects Film: The Influence of Digital Effects on Film Directing Gianluca Balla PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television September 2016 Abstract The director’ s method – meant as the organisation of the filmmaking process – is usually characterised by common procedures such as work on the script, shot design and the actors’ performance. For films involving a large-scale use of digital effects, directors consistently approach such procedures with a particular attitude dictated by the digital pipeline, the step-by- step technical procedure through which computer-generated images are created. In light of this, the use of digital effects might influence the director’s method. This thesis aims to define what is considered to be a consensual methodological approach to direct films with no or few digital effects and then compares this approach to when such effects are conspicuously involved. This analysis is conducted through interviews with working directors, visual effects companies and practitioners, and integrated with the current literature. The frame of the research is represented by a large spectrum of contemporary films produced in western countries and which involve digital effects at different scales and complexity but always in interaction with live-action. The research focuses on commercial films and excludes computer-animated and experimental films. The research is intended to address an area in production studies which is overlooked. In fact, although the existent literature examines both digital effects and film directing as distinct elements, there is to date no detailed analysis on the influence that the former has on the latter.
