Session 1 is a visual warm-up and introduction to shooting practice. It begins with a group analysis of the treatment and two scenes to be shot during the subsequent two sessions and continues with the visual presentation of the participants' projects.
Session 2: Focus is put on production of scenes from participants' projects with 2-3 actors (Polish actors speaking English). After scenes' group analysis participants discuss re-written scenes with their supervising shooting tutors. The further treatment/script development is continued by analysis and discussion with two independent script doctors. The pre-production of the scenes includes directing strategies, choice of the location, props and light. Each team is given time for rehearsal with actors, one day of shooting and one day of editing. The session ends with an evaluation, screening and discussion of the produced scenes, as well as meeting Casting Director and Art Director in order to prepare the shooting of the scenes for the 3rd session.
Session 3: Each team has the opportunity to invite a director of photography and two actors from its native country to produce a scene from the script (in their native language). After scenes' group analysis participants discuss re-written scenes with their supervising shooting tutors. The treatments' and scripts' further development is provided through individual analysis with two independent script doctors. The session ends with summary of project development as well as evaluation, screening and discussion of the produced scenes.
Follow-up session (optional) Participants to come back for the final treatment or script consultancy and setting up the directions for the advanced draft development.
