Кошторис та планування є найважливішими частинами будь-якого кінопроєкту, оскільки визначають процес створення фільму. Цей майстер-клас допоможе режисерам-початківцям розбити на прості кроки процеси планування та складання кошторису документального фільму.

Цей майстер-клас познайомить як звичайних глядачів, так і майбутніх режисерів зі складовими сильної споглядальної сцени у документальних фільмів. Ми розпочнемо з контекстуалізації споглядальної зйомки у різних проявах документального кіно, а потім перейдемо до її детального дослідження з урахуванням знімальних і монтажних принципів та процесів.

Майстер-клас пропонує дослідити структуру як короткометражних, так і повнометражних фільмів, а також роль, яку приділяють структурі видатні режисери. Ця лекція розкриває ключові питання, якими задається успішний режисер перед кожним своїм проєктом; як режисер використовує мову кіно, як розробляє структуру своєї історії заради однієї мети: вибудувати емоційний зв’язок зі своєю аудиторією.
