Course Content (Syllabus)
The 8th-semester workshop is a lab focused on developing and producing short films. Students can choose one of two options:
Group short film production
Work in teams to create a short film that will be added to their audiovisual portfolio before graduation, collaborating with classmates from other specializations. Having identified their thematic and stylistic interests, students make their films in groups, also preparing for their thesis projects.
Thesis project development
Use the semester to develop and prepare their thesis film by assembling a production dossier that includes all the artistic and production elements of the thesis project, which will begin after the workshop ends. A prerequisite for this option is that the thesis film to be produced must be a joint thesis of at least three students from different specializations.
