Welcome to this NIGHT INT planning course!
Here, the directors, DOPs, production designers and costume designers join forces to finding new ways visualize film content on sreen.
Course content
(for all)
"How to
visualize emotions?" Is our main question during these weeks.
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. The execution part will be scheduled separately and has its own course code.
