Objective

After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- identify the role, tasks and working steps of the director, scriptwriter, editor and concept designer
- interpret a script from the point of view of the different roles
- outline the history of visual design in animation from the point of view of techniques and means of expression
- carry out the visualisation of a short film based on a script
- create images through image creation
- find production and artistic solutions for their own practice production
- define the stages and resources of production and assess the risks involved in the project
- draw up a production plan for a small-scale production

Content

The course introduces students to the functions and modes of expression of pre-production animation. In a workshop-style course, students will learn the basics of directing, scriptwriting, concept design and production. Working in small groups and independently, the course overlaps with the technical objectives of the course and deepens the development of the student's own artistic expression and understanding of the multi-stage nature of animation pre-production. The course is linked to the planning of the 2nd year practice production.
