Reviews of professor Joseph Kraemer

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
There are 2 projects, the final will take up most of the time. He's very knowledgeable of the content being taught but he's not the best at giving feedback in a timely manner or giving Constructive Criticism. If you're looking to take this or any upper division courses I'd look for another professor. Feedback is necessary to grow as a filmmaker.

Loves to talk about films and lectures were very interesting. Is hands on, shows you how to use the equipment. All quizzes are open note and is flexible about due dates. Would take my boy Kraemer again.

This was a hard class to get through. They were long with lectures. Two projects, both groups where you had to pick one script to film, so I never got to film my own which was a bummer. The last project you work on WAY too long with busy work. I felt out of place in that class, even though this subject is something I am passionate about.

Prof. Kraemer really knows what he is talking about. He can be a little timid about things that don't fall perfectly in line with the class structure. Having said that, he is a solid professor and he really cares about making sure you understand and are gaining knowledge from his course.

I learned an INSANE amount about film-making from this man -knowledge I'll carry with me throughout my career. Def a timid man about anything even slightly experimental. He may not understand it if you go this route, but he'll always support you in any way he can, which makes him awesome imo. ESSENTIAL class for anyone looking to direct or produce.
