For me personally, the directing unit was least effective. I won't call it least useful because some of the blog questions genuinely opened my eyes to the role of a director. However, because I was not working on any projects specifically geared towards directing, I was not able to put that knowledge into use, and therefore it felt like an ineffective unit. Since there are always going to be few Advanced students and there are so many different aspects to filmmaking, it is important to allow more flexibility for the student. The first year was a time for the student to be exposed to all different aspects of filmmaking and so I see no harm in letting the advanced students be more specialized. For example, if the student is interested specifically in audio, the student can find an article or video talking about audio and write a summary paragraph about it for a blog. You can specify what kind of article they research by giving them a topic such as "audio levels" or "audio mixing."
