As part of a group, you will select a short screenplay or documentary proposal to plan and shoot in a narrative sequence. Projects will be concerned with the clarity of mise en scène and narrative construction as well as clarity of intention regarding a consistent and dynamic stylistic approach. You will learn about the importance of tempo and rhythm by utilising movement within the frame and off camera, and movement from shot to shot. Through practical group exercises you will build on your collaboration skills and be introduced to the importance of recognised film roles, as well as work professionally, in particular when working with actors or subjects of a documentary project.
