Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module "Special Techniques in Filmmaking (Motion Control, Time-Lapse, Slow Motion, 360 Degree Filmmaking, Dolly Zoom)" focuses on advanced film techniques such as motion control, time-lapse, slow motion, 360-degree filmmaking, and dolly zoom. In the workshop sessions, students will explore these methods that enable the creation of unique visual effects and original film compositions. Participants can experiment with these techniques hands-on, using professional equipment and software to enhance their filmmaking skills. The course is practical; students will work in teams to create short film projects. The module requires active participation in classes and independent work on projects. It includes 30 academic hours, with part of the time dedicated to self-study. After completing the module, students can apply special film production techniques to their projects.
