Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
There is an issue concerning the prerequisites for this workshop and, indeed, for all the directing workshops: Can a student can take 2 Direcing Workshops 1 without having first taken 1 Directing Workshops 1? The logical answer is no. But experience thus far has shown us that something of the sort is possible in some cases. Still, our concerns about this subject remain.

At the end of the semester the student will be able to:
1. get to know the basic stages in the director’s collaborations with the cast and crew at each stage in the making of a film.
2.communicate their directorial vision to everyone else involved in the production and embellish that vision through their collaborations
3.see how essential each member of the crew and cast is

Additional bibliography for study
Στο τέλος κάθε εργαστηρίου δίδονται σημειώσεις με σκοπό να θυμηθούν οι φοιτητές όσα θέματα αναφέρθηκαν σε αυτό και κάποιες φορές να εξηγηθούν περαιτέρω κάποια.
Ανάλογα με την συνεργασία του σκηνοθέτη με κάθε έναν από τους καλλιτεχνικούς συντελεστές, προκύπτουν επιμέρους ανάγκες. Διδεται πρόσθετη βιβλιογραφία και "υλικά" από την συνεργασία του σκηνοθέτη με κάθε έναν καλλιτεχνικό συντελεστή.
