Practice
Practical work on the Filmmaking course is one of the most important parts of learning. And it is not so much the result that matters but the process itself, the discussion of the filmed works with fellow students and the comments of the tutors.
Completing the assignments from lecturers and curators, our students shoot video sketches, reshoot scenes from films and even try to shoot music videos for their favorite songs or musicians.
During one of the practical exercises, students will shoot a sketch "Emotion" that will aim to illustrate or stir up one of the main positive or negative human emotions like fear, fright, joy, pleasure, delight, tenderness. After the lecture on specifics of music video creation, students will try out themselves as music video directors for the first time.
At the end of the course, students shoot their graduation works - commercials or mood-videos by real briefs from clients. Below are examples of our students' graduation projects for Ukrainian brands: Zhovten Cinema, Vinyla, SNDCT, GUD, Bursa Hotel, KISFF Short Film Festival, Hashtag Bar and Vans Brand.
