Class Principles and Ethics of Film Direction

To understand the concept of director, it is necessary the performative process that involves transforming an idea into an audiovisual work. What differences can we find between a director, a fiction film, a commercial, an author, a television series, a documentary, an advertisement, a music video? What perspective, process or method is used for each object? Through the different cinematographic genres and their respective authors, the student has the opportunity to relate to a set of audiovisual works. Students are also encouraged to develop a sketchbook, where they can provide all types of references about the series project that they are developing simultaneously in the Course Unit Creation and Development Processes in Cinema and Audiovisual. This work allows the student to investigate the importance of research and analysis of the state of the art in the creative process.
