Overview
FC projects are expected to follow a defined set of production specifications and content parameters. These guidelines are designed to establish manageable limits for production scope, including factors such as page count, duration, and quantities of assets, characters, and shots.
These specifications help ensure that projects can be completed successfully within the available schedule, crew size, and experience level associated with the course. The goal is not to limit creativity, but to help students learn how filmmakers shape strong stories within the practical constraints of time, logistics, staffing, and available resources.
