About the course
Course content
The aim of the course is to offer foundational training and studies in filmmaking with digital video.
The course is divided into four modules:
- Film theory (5 credits)
- Basics of Filmmaking (9 credits)
- Fictional filmmaking (8 credits)
- Documentary filmmaking (8 credits)
The course is an introduction to filmmaking in a broad sense. During the course, students will develop competence in filmmaking through practical exercises in screenwriting, directing, cinematography, and post-production using digital video. In module 3 and 4, a fiction short film and documentary are produced.
Practice is integrated with theory by analysis and reflections on how different narrative components are used within different genres through a film historical perspective.
