Contents

The course aims to present the student with the preparation of a film shoot and ideally with the actual film shoot. The student will receive an offer of possible internships according to the FAMU schedule and ongoing film projects in the given period. The teachers of the Film Faculty are as helpful as possible at this stage and if students are working on a project themselves during the semester, they directly offer these internship positions. The internship term is not timed in any way and can be completed at any time during the semester. The internship must last at least 5 working days.

After this course students are getting better understanding of the work of the film crew and responsibilities of the each crew member. Physical presence on the shoot and understanding of the working flow during the shooting day, can help student to better understand the workflow on the film set.

Prerequisites and other requirements

The listener is familiar with the implementation of drawing documentation and the work of the film crew.
