Course content
Students are engaged in the preparation and development of a diploma film project. 1. Idea, theme, literary script, spot script, art design, storyboard, colour script, technical/visual rehearsal. 2. Animatic with provisional sound design. 3. Contacts with editors, sound engineers, musicians and other collaborators. 4. Treatment and directorial exploration. Materials produced during the semester will be used for presentation for funding application. The student and the instructor seek the strongest expression and most effective treatment of the planned work. During collaborative meetings, feedback will be formulated to advance the work and take a closer look at the individual student's chosen themes, different ways of grasping and approaching solutions, choice of narrative perspective, and directorial dramaturgy.
