Title of Class, Overview ; Film Law & Policy, This course is primarily devoted to film law, covering issues related to copyright, legal contracts, and other issues that producers need to know when making films or running their own film companies. Since every country's laws are different, we will concentrate on general concepts and then discuss how specific laws may vary in different countries. In addition, we will examine the diverse ways in which governments approach film policy around the world. ; Film Genres, Film genres provide a framework through which viewers around the world consume and interact with cinema. As producers of films, it is important to understand the nature of this dynamic, and so we will explore the idea of genre from a variety of perspectives, ranging from Aristotle to thinkers of the present day. Through analysis of various genres, we will explore diverse ways of reading films to give fellows a wider perspective on the complexities of meaning that exist within every film. ; Project Proposals, This course is designed to provide fellows with guidance and practice in preparing the written texts (loglines, synopses, filmmakers' statements, etc.) that make up film proposals and applications for various kinds of support programs ; Topics in Film Producing, A step by step analysis of the producing process of feature films from the planning to the distribution centered on the producer’s work. This course explores new potentials for film producing under historical, cultural and industrial environment of each Asian country and its process of globalization.

This course is designed to provide fellows to establish a framework for understanding the dynamics of the film, media and technology industries, and their intersecting points in global film market. Beginning with a systematic overview of key players in relevant sectors, and principles that apply to entertainment industry. Based on their own researches, fellows will present the current environment of film and media business of each Asian country. The ultimate goal of this course is to become fully aware of fundamental tools for producers working across and beyond Asia, and to broaden potentials for international coproduction in Asia. ; Storytelling & Script Development, Whether you are a writer, director, or producer, understanding dramatic principles in a story is in order to facilitate storytelling and script development. Fellows examine films and analyze their scripts, learning how vital information is conveyed, how story elements are communicated visually, how dramatic momentum is built with cause and effect, and what makes a character credible and complex. An in-depth analysis of screenplay’s storyline, characters, dialogue, images, and theme reveals various narrative techniques and storytelling styles, from Hollywood to independent and everything in between. Fellows end the term with the ability to break down the required dramatic principles and story elements for their project/screenplay ideas. Through the vigorous work done every week, fellows will have completed a revised treatment of their screenplay idea. ; Financing, Distribution, Marketing, This course is about sharing information and developing skills in raising funds, budgeting, investment & distribution in Korea and South East Asia, marketing, and overseas sales as a producer. ; Project Development Workshop, This course provides an intensive hands-on training for fellows willing to produce their own fiction feature film projects. Each fellow is to turn one selected idea into a pitchable story with development notes made by the fellows themselves or by their partners working in their own countries, referring to constructive feedback from the faculty members and from the colleagues either through group discussions or through man-to-man mentoring. Step by step, each fellow will be given a step-by-step tailored guidance in developing the subject, narrative, the visual style, and marketability of his or her project. The desired outcome of this course is to create atleast a solid treatment or a step-outline by the end of the semester. ; Screening, This course is to broaden understanding of Film Genres and Storytelling by watching one film related to the lectures each week and writing a review about the film.
