Forma studia

The students will practice shooting in the studio while collaborating with the directors from the 2nd year of Documentary department. They will participate in the conceptualization and practical preparation of the 10 minute film which will be shot during 2 days in the studio. The exercise title „Experiment“ and the guidelines provided by the documentary department stipulate that students can use wide range of styles as long as they cohere to the specific theme/story. The story has been picked from the media news. The documentary students will decide their own angle and treatment for this same topic. The freedom of picking the form and shape of the narrative and the cinematic language will be balanced by setting the rules for clear communication via synopsis, screenplay and/or storyboard. The comprehensible creative communication between the director and the DOP will be crucial for the whole process.
