Description
This course is directly combined with 8EP1, during which students (practically) make their 1st short film. Based on these films, the role of the 1st and 2nd assistant director as well as the the role of the script continuity, is analyzed and examined. At the same time, during the lessons, "work materials" from other films are shown. Typical samples of scenes from films are also shown and the way in which their shooting was organized is analyzed. Masterclasses are given by Greek creators who analyze the production conditions of their films. Videos from castings, rehearsals, location scoutings are shown.
