Obsah
This course will focus on mastering the basics of film grammar, with an emphasis on visually translating scripted ideas into short, narrative films. Working in small groups, students must complete weekly film exercises, with strict guidelines. Through workshops, film exercises, classroom discussions, additional assignments, and watching short clips, this class will explore the role of the director and supporting crew members through concept, pre-production, and production.
