The
Bachelor of Fine Arts
with a specialization
in DIRECTING |
|
|
|
is
a 3 year programme
in English which
provides a broad
introduction to
the elements of
filmmaking with
specialization in
Directing. |
|
|
 |
The
Directing specialization
within the BFA Filmmaking
curriculum is specifically
designed to give students
professional preparation
for a career as a Director
in film, electronic and
digital media. This is
accomplished through theoretical
courses and practical
exercises as well as extensive
“hands-on-film”
work where students, directing
their own films, will
learn and master the technical
and aesthetic principles
of directing. They will
be encouraged to explore
traditional, non-traditional
and emerging media as
well as to develop a personal
artistic point of view. |
|
|
After
completing the first year
of cross-disciplinary
studies which covers the
fundamentals of filmmaking,
the students start to
specialize in their second
year with Directing workshops
and modules with practical
exercises using 35mm,
16mm, and HD as well as
other broadcast media
formats. In the workshops,
they will begin to write
and prepare their own
productions which they
will direct under the
supervision of their professors.
These projects must be
approved by a committee
of professors and film
professionals who will
also determine the format
and length of each film.
The films are then produced,
shot and edited by student
crews. These workshops
and modules are accompanied
by practical “hands-on-film”
instruction which consists
primarily of working on
EICAR student productions
in various posts other
than directing. |
|
|
The
third and final year
consists primarily of
intense specialization
modules, and individual
tutoring. However the
emphasis is on the student’s
participation in school
productions, his ability
to work as part of a team,
and the quality of his
contribution to the finished
film. |
|
|
At
the end of the three year
programme, the
student will have had
experience in practical
problems and assignments
concerning directing in
film, video, and digital
media, all leading to
career opportunities in
the audio-visual and entertainment
industry. |
