2. WORKSHOPS FOR DIRECTING AND SCREEN WRITING

Creating and directing a project is a difficult undertaking but one that offers great expressive satisfactions. The course is based on the understanding of the film structure, passing from the ideation of the script and from the script to the visual realization of the scenes. The study of the shots, the look of the project, the direction of the actors, and the packaging of the product, are the points on which the biennium is set. The course structure starts with the study of film units up to the narration by genres in the second year. During the two-year period, the productive, organizational, budget and technical aspects are tackled and the writing for the main cinematographic languages is studied in depth, with particular attention to short films and low budget products. The merger of the authorial aspects of writing and technical direction makes the course much more specific and offers complete training that characterizes our graduate students.
