Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The theory is dispensed ex cathedra. The practical exercise is done simultaneously, applying the learned theory, step by step (preproduction, shooting, postproduction).
The main learning activity is making a remake of a cinema sequence (2 to 4 minutes) in groups of 3 students.
If the total number of students isn't a multiple of 3, one or two groups of 2 students will be accepted.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course

Additional information:
The course evaluation is divided in a practical part and a theorical part.
The practical part is the achievement of the remake, exported in .mp4 format and delivered on a memory stick or by WeTransfer. The remake will be supported by a feedback folder gathering all the documents that were necessary for filmmaking as well as a reflexive analysis on the experience.
The theorical part is a written exam with open questions, at the university. If the sanitary conditions forbid it, then the exam will be an online oral exam.
The remake counts for 40% and the exam for 60% of the final grade.
In case of failure of one the part leading to a global failing grade, the quote of the succeeded part is frozen until the next session.
