Learning Outcomes
The students learn how to divide the action of a scene into smaller parts. They probe deeper into the function of each of these parts.
Decoupage. The students develop their ability to design the decoupage for a scene.
They learn to choose how to film the action in each part: the position of the camera, the camera’s movement, the type of movement.
They learn to identify a movie’s filming style and to successfully use style in their own films.
* This year, the exercises the students undertook in the workshops sought, on the one hand, to familiarize them with the decoupage process and to consolidate their knowledge of its fundamental elements and concepts and, on the other, to help them understand how style functions in the process of creating the decoupage.
