Making Movies 2 provides students who have been introduced to film making fundamentals in Making Movies 1, or who have some knowledge of film production, further insight into the practicalities of professional film production.
The subject provides a hands-on study of directors' pre-visualisation and mise-en-scene, the art of adaptation, experimental filmmaking, animation, writing the documentary and working with actors. All sessions are delivered by film making professionals. Students can engage either live via a weekly two-hour lecture on Zoom, or via the recorded lecture to fit their own timetable.
The assessment tasks provide an opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from the lectures to a variety of practical filmmaking exercises, including the development of a director's shooting script, and the production of an adapted screenplay, animation, documentary treatment or short experimental film.
