Directing Experimental Short Films
|
Learn to create a short film based on an image that inspires you
In conceptual film work, the real star is the director. The creative flexibility inherent in arthouse cinema gives the director the freedom to imprint their own personality and experiences onto the piece itself. These characteristics perfectly describe the work of Jiajie Yu Yan, a film and advertising director whose short films and music videos have been nominated and awarded at numerous international festivals.
In this course, Jiajie teaches you the process that a conceptual film director follows to carry out their projects—from the initial idea to shooting and post-production.
Start by getting to know Jiajie Yu Yan and how he went from acting in a Pepsi commercial to directing his own short films. Discover the directors, composers, and photographers who influence him, and see how he puts together an inspirational mood board.
Now start crafting your personal style by choosing the aspect ratio of your work, the framing, composition, color, and camera movements.
Learn to make a visual film treatment based on a photo that inspires you, exploring the stories an image can evoke through mere observation.
Next, create the shooting script for your audiovisual piece by documenting each shot on a template provided by Jiajie.
