Sisällön jaksotus

During the course, every student makes a documentary production with a mobile phone. The theme of these documentaries is the climate change.
The short documentaries (3-7 min) can be based on interviews of the experts, intimate and very personal pieces of art, reportages of people trying to cope with the anxiety of the climate change or anything you can create out of this theme. The style and mode is free but the tool is a mobile phone and the documentary has to be based on reality and facts.
Contact lessons are on Tuesdays 14:15-16:00 in LEM_B152
