  How to visualize emotions?

   This planning course concentrates on finding ways to visualize emotion in film through a practical scene rehearsal. In week one, after discussions and theoretical approach to the subject, the director, cinematographer, production designer (and costume designer) do their own collaborative research through film analyses on how emotions(s) are carried out in film narration, how they are visualised in practice. In week two, students break down a scene the director has written (in Scene writing 1 course) and find together narrative solutions to the visual world of the scene in hand. Students are encouraged to find an exhibition, a performance or other form of art to back up their visual planning. During the second week these artistic ideas are concretized and made into actual plans which can be executed later. More detailed productional constraints to the plans are defined closer to the course start. Nevertheless, the scenes are to be planned so they can be shot in studio, in one day and in one set with 2 characters only. And the scenes happen at NIGHT, which brings its own challenges to visualising the atmosphere and the content.

  The course continues in weeks 4-5 with a crew check-up / follow up when the concrete plans need to be ready. The scenes will be realised in studio sets (can be referential) during the second part of this Night Interior course in weeks 10-12. Post and final screenings in week 13.

  Miten tunne visualisoidaan?
  

  Kurssi toteutetaan yhteistyössä kuvauksen ja lavastuksen pääaineiden kanssa.

  Tällä kurssilla ohjaaja tutkii yhdessä kuvaajan ja lavastajan, sekä mahdollisesti pukusuunnittelijan kanssa miten tunnetta kuljetetaan elokuvassa. Sekä visuaalisesti, että näyttelijäntyöllä, keskittyen kuitenkin elokuvan kuvalliseen kerrontaan ja kuvan visuaalisiin elementteihin. Työryhmä tekee ensin presentaation valitsemastaan elokuvan visuaalisesta tunnekuljetuksesta.
  

  Sen jälkeen ohjaaja tutkii ja suunnittelee yhdessä muun työryhmän kanssa Kohtauksen kirjoitus 1 - kurssilla kirjoittamansa kohtauksen. Työryhmä purkaa kohtauksen yhdessä, tutkii eri taidemuotojen kautta kohtauksen ydintä ja valmistaa siitä ensin vapaamuotoisen visuaalisen presentaation (moodboard, moodreel), jonka jälkeen työryhmä konkretisoi suunnitelmansa toteutettavaan muotoon (kurssille ennalta-annetuissa määreissä ja mittakaavassa). Kurssi jatkuu alkuvuodesta (viikoilla 4-5), jolloin on suunnitlmat tulee olla valmiit. Kahedn hengen kohtaukset tullaan toteuttamaan studiolavasteessa (mahd viitteellinen) ja kuvauspäiviä on kullekin kohtaukselle 1 (viikot 11.-12). Jatkon aikataulu ilmoitetaan erikseen.
  

  Kurssin fokus on visuaalisuudessa, ei näyttelijänohjaamisessa. Ja tunteen visualisoimisen ytimessä on YÖ INTERÖÖRI, jonka atmosfääriä kurssilla tutkitaan eri muodoissa.

  Registration for Courses: Sisu replaces Oodi on 9 August, 2021. Priority order to courses is according to the order of priority decided by the Academic committee for School of Arts, Design and Architecture: https://www.aalto.fi/en/services/registering-to-courses-and-the-order-of-priority-in-aalto-arts

  The order of priority for admitting students to courses at Aalto ARTS 1.1.2018 onwards (approved by The Committee of Arts, Design and Architecture on 10.10.2017)

  The order of priority is as follows:

  1. students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have scheduled it for the current academic year in their personal study plan (HOPS);
  2. exchange students for whom the course is a part of his/her officially approved learning agreement and scheduled to be taken during the current semester;
  3. students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have not completed it yet;
  4. students, for whom the course is part of his/her major s or programme s alternative studies and has been scheduled in the student's PSP (HOPS) for the current academic year
  5. students, for whom the course is part of his/her major s or programme s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
  6. students for whom the course is compulsory for their minor;
  7. students, for whom the course is part of his/her minor subject s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
  8. students who have applied for the course through a student mobility scheme (internal mobility within Aalto University, flexible study right (JOO) studies etc.);
  9. other students.

   

  Courses that are intended to be multidisciplinary (e.g. UWAS courses) may apply an order of priority based on the learning outcomes of the course, while bearing in mind the university obligation of enabling students to complete their degrees within the normative duration of study set for the degree. The order of priority does not apply to courses organised by the Centre for General Studies or doctoral courses.

  This decision on the order of priority does not influence the right of the teacher to define prerequisites for the course.
