The exercise ‘mise-en-scène’ (fiction) is an integrated exercise involving scriptwriting, actor training, sound, image, and editing.
In consultation with the directing instructor and the scriptwriting instructor, the student develops a self-written fictional scene with two student actors from Luca Drama. This scene is a self-written piece, developed under the guidance of the scriptwriting instructor. The scene is refined and deepened by the student into an individual, functional actor exercise in Dutch. This sequence must include a dramatic progression, meaning that both actors must undergo a crucial change during the scene. In addition, the student will create a professional mise-en-scène and film découpage. Communication is central to this exercise. Working with student actors from Luca Drama is required. Working with actors and a crew is extremely important: the student interviews the actor to get to know them better, conducts an improvisation session, and later discusses the character the actor will portray. The student also briefs their crew, which consists of fellow students and student actors from Luca Drama. The student forms their own crew but is required to work with classmates, Luca Drama students, and potentially students from 1BA and 3BA. From preparation to the final screening, the student’s ability to find a personal vision is continuously explored. There is class-wide consultation and ongoing evaluation, both during preparations and filming in the studio. During rehearsals with the student actors, the student directors are supervised by the directing and acting instructors. Before, during, and after the studio session, student directors are guided by the image and sound instructors. Afterward, students edit their work themselves under the guidance of the editing instructor. There is a screening session where the exercise is evaluated in class (along with the student actors from Luca Drama).
Regarding sound, the student learns to reflect on and communicate about sound concepts and composition. He/she is able to develop a sound concept in a process-oriented and research-driven manner and can defend and justify this concept.
Regarding editing, the student learns to translate editing theory into practice and gains insight into editing as a crucial part of the creation of the audiovisual project.
