Course Content (Syllabus)
Cinema narrates stories. Sometimes, producers choose, develop, change or even co-shape these stories and the way these are told. The producer is – among others – an adequate reader of scripts and their components. In this course, the main principles of the dramatic analysis are taught. The components which constitute a story. The way these components are organized and narrate the story. During the development of a film work, the producer sometimes participates in and others he/she leads the development, improvement, rewriting of the story.
In this context, ways of approaching, evaluation and analysis of a film script are developed, while films are studied on the basis of structure, style, form, narrative and characters. Finally, a methodology of encoding the above projects is suggested, from the point of view of the film production (Script Coverage).
