During the three-week course, experienced tutors will take you through the stages of filmmaking, from script to post-production. As a result, you will take home a short film in which you participated creatively.

The three weeks are divided into three film production cycles: pre-production, production and post-production. Groups will use the equipment, film studios and editing facilities of BFM.

During the first week, you will learn about storytelling and get a quick introduction to the craft of filmmaking. You will pitch your idea, develop a script for a short film, get to know the camera, lights and sound equipment. Participants will choose four to five scripts to shoot and team up. Together with your creative team members, you develop the shooting script and shot list, cast your actors, search for locations, costumes and props.

The second week is spent on capturing ideas on set. Before shooting you will receive expert tips from a professional cinematographer-gaffer, a sound recordist and will discuss your ideas with your tutor. Rest of the week you will be shooting a short film together with your team.

The focus of the third week is editing. You will learn a professional editing program and cut your film using BFM’s post-production facilities. You will get feedback to your rough cut from a professional editor. The course will end with the open screening of the films in the BFM’s cinema SuperNova.
