San Francisco State Field Trip

After touring California State University, San Francisco's film production facilities, what aspects of their program or resources stood out to you, and how do you think these could influence your approach to future film projects?

    Some aspects of their program that stood out to me was the equipment, the sound stage, and the sound design and mixing. We got to hear about some of the different equipment that they had and it was very fleshed out. We also got to tour the sound stage and it was fairly large with quite the potential for creating many different sets. I noticed that their flats that they use for the sets seemed more modular than the ones we have, they have bigger sizes and some features, like the door, were stand alone pieces (which allowed them to put the door in an outer corner of the wall. We also got to tour the foley room and the sound mixing room, which was incredibly interesting. These could influence my approach to some future film projects as I realize how much more important that foley is and how much it can elevate a production to sound considerably more professional.
