Throughout the semester, students will develop skills to envision the movie before shooting, through the practice of planning and conceptualizing scenes and sequences, both by breaking down the scene and long takes, using the camera as a narrator.
At the end of the semester, students must fullfil the following learning outcomes:
1. Distinguish the various functions of the film crew, particularly the ones in the directing area;

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.
