Course contents
Triangle is an exercise – a short film (8 minutes maximum) based on a realistic story, preferably in three acts and with the basic dramatic situation involving three characters. All three characters are material for the plot development - none of them is marginal. Students should avoid clichéd characters (beggars, pickpockets etc.) and formally obvious traits of genre films. The objective is to narrate a dramatic arc in the film language and find an adequate stylistic expression for the narration. Triangle should be based around not more than three locations. The project must be shot in Czech Republic. Shooting in the car is not allowed.
Screenwriting students write a screenplay for directing students.
