You will also learn the different responsibilities on set, each crew member’s tasks, by working on the process of making a video from the script to the camera, the technical part of the lighting to the direction, production and post-production.

Endless questions that will shape you in the best way for your future.

Each of the contents and concepts will be studied carefully and at the same time you will apply them through a series of practices to complement what has been learned.

PROJECTS

Throughout the courses, we will offer our students various experiences to develop their talent inside and outside of class, which includes all the different aspects of the audiovisual world.

Through the course, students will have end of term projects and an end of course project. These will help students apply what they have learned and practiced during classes, for that we propose these projects annually:

• Short film or TV pilot episode
• Music video or a spot
• Short documentary or publicity spot on social awareness.

Out of class projects:

• Script development: throughout the course, each student will develop their own script for a short film or a television pilot episode by applying the script writing techniques taught in class.
• Scenes or monthly sketches: each student will develop a home video as practical exercises that accompany the material given in class.

Equipment

We guarantee our students the experience of using professional cameras and filming materials. Our students have access and will be able to use first-hand equipment used in professional sets. The students’ last year projects were filmed with the RED EPIC MX 5K camera, BMPCC 6K camera and ZEISS compact cp2 professional cinema lens, among other materials.

Film Festival Distribution

The final  project  (and other project that proves to be of sufficient quality) has a life of distribution at festivals. Our philosophy is to always consider the project of our students as our own and as something that we want to have in our own study plans and, for that, we try to ensure that their project reaches the maximum possible distribution by sending them to festivals and events that best fit the quality of the final result, ensuring your work the recognition it deserves.

Movie theater screening

As an annual event, we offer our students, their friends and family the opportunity to screen their project for the local community in a professional cinema with a minimum capacity of 150 audiences. So they can have the experience of watching their work on the big screen.

Production platform

We encourage our students throughout the course to start creating among themselves a production platform, where we will help them by guiding and supporting them to reach the closest possible level to the work of a newly created production company, in the hope of this being the basis for the student to carry out more projects independently or with our sponsorship. On this platform, students brand their production line, run the brand’s social network, create a blog or website for it, submit projects to contests, make a casting call, advance production tasks
