Course notes
This course is divided into two sections. The first explores the foundational principles of aesthetics and their application to the art and craft of professional filmmaking. Students analyse features and shorts to investigate how visual, auditory, and narrative elements combine to create compelling cinematic experiences. In the second half, students will translate these aesthetic concepts into intentional, impactful creative choices as they prepare for short-form Major Projects. The pre-production part of the course includes students pitching, individually and in small groups, the viability of their proposed project. By the end of the course, participants will be able to step into a creative lead role on a Major Project and be able to assist on at least one other project; they will have a toolkit of aesthetic strategies to bring a unique, professional polish to their filmmaking practice.
