These 2 weeks (28.2-11.3) include directors'
preparation work for the upcoming MA fiction films. The course can be
also taken by students (by listening in) who are not working on their MA
film, but want to learn how to do directors' workplans, text analyses,
casting plans and how to plan and execute rehearsals with actors.
We
will be going through each MA graduation film script in detail
together, analysing them from director's percpective. Each student will
make their own breakdown and plan their cast and rehearsal day according
to preassignments and discussions during the first days. Each director
will have one day to rehearse selected scenes, or the whole film for
camera. The film's confirmed DOPs are welcome to participate to the rehearsal day,
otherwise other directors will shoot the rehearsal. Reherasal can also
be done without camera and focusing only on the content of the scenes
and what happens between the actors.
The scene reherasals will be
done with designated actors from Teak who are
joining the course via "liikkuvuusopinnot". Extra professional actors
can be casted if necessery, but each director needs to choose only 2 max
3 actors for their 1 rehearsal day. The students will not yet rehearse with the
cast actual cast of their film and this rehearsal day is not a casting audition day, but an opportunity to go deeper into the characters and scenes with help of actor's point of view.
Preliminary schedule (might still change!)
All days are 9h30-16h30 if not mentioned otherwise.
JA kaikki opetus tapahtuu luokassa A126 (Otakaari 1). Luokka on käytössämme koko 2 viikkoa.
