3 hours workshop. Language: Greek

Practical tips on the capture, structure and the editing of short films.

The aim of this workshop is for the participants to get a clear picture of what is needed in order to enter into the adventure of creating a short movie, regardless of the quality of the technological equipment.

We will try to establish a common language of "reading" films and at the same time to define the basic stages required for their creation.

Starting from the conception of the initial idea until the final form of the script (on the paper or the computer), we will understand the importance of planning, the basic steps needed for the preparation before filming and of course the main part of the action… filming! In the end, a special reference will be made on editing, as well as on the aesthetic and technological parameters which may influence the final result of the film.

The workshop includes a seven- minute short movie, a presentation and exercises which combine theatrical games and improvisations for acting in the cinema.
