An initial filming practice which exposes students to the new experience of exploring Prague and their reaction to it. Students are given approximate locations by vote. Students are then expected to use their immediate inspiration arising from a situation within that location and shoot some video footage. The topic has no restrictions and can be pure non-fiction and have no element of narration, or the opposite. The exercise is solely determined by circumstance and student creativity. The aim allows for playfulness and openness to location, situation and people.

Production: 1 x half day shoot. Students shoot individually but work as pairs/triples where one shoots and the other(s) assist.
