Content
In preparation for the master project, a 3-day scenario session is organized at an external location, with special attention being paid to the process of storytelling. Through the critical practice and improvisation sessions, master students experience creative ways to achieve clarity in what is important and what isn't when building a story. Shortly afterwards a producer or director is invited as a guest lecturer to evaluate and give feedback to each student's final scenario.
Course material
During the 3-day sessions, films are shown that are clear illustrations for this practice.
