Class Management and Research for Audiovisual Production

In this workshop with a practical focus, the aim is to enable students to adopt a strategic and creative vision in the preparation and carrying out of projects through collaborative work on concrete cases. Students begin by analysing the projects from the perspective of creative production in order to find the best way to explore the specific potential of each project. The analysis work also involves understanding the various roles in the production sector, from the role of the producer to the assistant, including the various more practical or administrative functions in project management. Students deal with all phases of production in an assisted manner, from pre-production, with the analysis of projects, their planning, budgeting, and team formation and management, through to the shooting and post-production phases.
