Audiovisual creation and research" workshop [EINCB217]
Learning outcomes
The aim of the workshop is to understand cinema and audiovisual language by experimenting with film-making. Practical exercises focus on the following skills: formulating a film subject, defining intentions, writing a short film script (dialogue continuity), shooting (taking turns as director, cameraman and sound recordist) and editing a few sequences. These exercises will lead the student to make a complete film of a few minutes for the exam. The film must make sense, arouse emotions and express a point of view.
Content
Practical exercises in scriptwriting, filming and editing, with an emphasis on researching and creating film language. This practical course is closely linked to the theory course entitled "Analysis of Cinematographic Language I and II", from which it draws examples in terms of processes and devices, as well as theoretical notions useful for filmmaking.
Co-requisites
Atelier "Ecriture communicationnelle" [EINCB214] et Introduction au langage cinématographique [LROMB002] et Critique des sources cinématographiques [LHISB320]Teaching methods
The course requires a large number of hours of work per student (7 credits), of which only a small percentage is devoted to classroom sessions. There is therefore a considerable amount of work to be done outside of class, which must be devoted to individual or group writing, filming and editing. In order to ensure that there is a link between the workshop and the work required, students alternate between class sessions and outside work. The timetable is communicated to students in the first week of the course. The class sessions cover the main principles of screenwriting (two sessions), filming (three sessions) and editing (two sessions) through exercises guided and commented on by the teacher.
Evaluations
A personal or group assignment concludes each series of exercises covering one of the main stages in the making of a film. This work, completed during the four-month period, is assessed and the total marks count for 30% of the final mark. The exam consists of a complete exercise (script, shooting and editing). It accounts for 70% of the mark: 50% is awarded to the film produced and 20% to the technical positions occupied by the student (image and sound) in the other films.
Recommended readings
Books and films will be cited during the course. It is up to the student to take note of these references and to have the intellectual curiosity to consult or view them.
