Learning outcomes |
In order to provide a solid foundation to carry out the function of film director, this CU will convey a blend of: management tools applied to directing, useful to both directors and assistant directors; theoretical and practical elements of film planning; film language essentials.
At the end of this course, students should be able to: deliver a file containing document pertaining to film directing; understand various production and directing contexts and adapt their decisions and behaviours to those contexts; master the different stages of film production, from the inception of the concept to the final product; use strategies to manage processes pertaining to their functions as directors or assistant directors; have critical sense while planning and filming (especially with regard to framings, camera movements, and other film techniques); integrate knowledge from other CUs in order to efficiently combine technical elements with aesthetic sensibility and management tools.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This is a theoretical-practical curricular unit. It promotes cooperation (with the Digital Design I class, from the 1st cycle in Design and Multimedia) and emphasizes the technical component of film directing as well as the conceptual aspect. Considering that students have as their ultimate goal the realization of an animated film short film, the planning of the UC includes sessions on screenwriting, history and aesthetics of animation film, lectures and discussion of the function of director and assistant director and the realization of a short in an interdisciplinary team.
