Description
In this course, students make a brief cinematic piece inspired by movement exercises. Each session starts with a 45-minute movement exercise, guiding students to reflect on the nuances of emotions, memories, and ideas evoked during the activity. Taking notes at the exercise's conclusion, students transform these reflections into source material for their final projects. The course features technical demonstrations covering camera work, editing, and sound. The primary emphasis is on movement's pivotal role, serving as the anchor connecting these skills and molding creative concepts. The curriculum encompasses crucial elements, including: Visual composition, color, and camera movements, highlighting their significance in conveying specific messages; Practical applications, including learning the fundamentals of editing in Premiere, with a conceptual focus on movement as the unifying element in cinematic structure; Basics of recording and editing sound.
