This meeting includes a 45-minute open briefing session followed by a 3-hour workshop session with chosen participants. The briefing session is open for public and it serves as an opportunity for all potential candidates to meet the tutor and decide whether to join the next sessions of the workshop based on mutual commitment between the candidate and the tutor.
13:00-14:00 Open briefing session (for public)
14:15-17:00 Workshop session (for participants exclusively)
Schedule for further sessions of the workshop will be settled.
<Phases included in the next sessions>
Phase 1. Inspiration: Participants will and get to know each other and watch art works together. Development: We will find a subject to explore and write a script for a ± 10 to 15 minute piece and make a schedule.
Phase 2. Pre-production: We will decide what is needed for the project: who does what, where will we shoot (find locations, artefacts such as costumes, props & makeup, as well as actors & actresses, musicians and other talents. The idea is that everyone put ideas, passion, talent, knowledge and contacts in contribution.) The purpose is to work with available resources and networking.
Phase 3. The production phase: shooting the film. Every participant will have a specific task, such as coordinating, directing, photography, sound, etc.).
Phase 4. The post-production phase: editing, music, adding atmospheric sounds, maybe a narration, English subtitles, sound mix, color correction, final edit, etc.
On November 30, the final work will be shown at CAC.
