Contents

Students write a script for the pre-defined set built in film studio.

It is an exercise in which all students participate.

The actual shooting in the studio is preceded by dedicated practical module that prepare students not only for the specifics of working in a studio, but mostly.

The Atelier exercise is divided into the following 8 working positions:

Directing

Cinematography

Sound

Set design

Screenplay

Assistant of Director (AD)

Production

Editing

Each student takes one position, but positions can be combined if there are less than 8 students in the class.

Learning outcomes

Preparation phase:

In an environment that allows for hands-on demonstrations, students will be introduced to the work of film departments so that, in the future, they will be able to find common ground when seeking the final form of expression and also gain a basic understanding of the technical aspects of each profession.

Shooting phase:

The students learn to approach film production from roles other than those of the director, which broadens their understanding of these professions, increases their sensitivity toward them, and improves their communication with these professionals during regular filming.

On a more general level, they learn to work within strict limits, within a collective ecosystem focused on a shared outcome, and, finally, they gain insight into the unique nature of working at the studio.
