Description

This one-week course will focus on the techniques and theory through practice in the way we are using our creative thought to produce interesting stories and films. During the course of this seminar the participants will learn how to create interesting stories using Aristotle’s model of tragedy and how to create a script. In the second part of the workshop the participants will begin to create their own projects (fiction, documentary or experimental) and will learn the way to use their mobile phones in order to create high quality footage. In the last part of the workshop the participants will edit their films and present their work.

Follow-up:

Attendees will receive handouts and self-evaluation forms as well as feedback forms on the course itself. Social networking will be set up to maintain contact after the end of the course and continue any discussions begun during the course, as well as to exchange feedback on how the skills taught in the course are being implemented.
