Developing visual and sound intentions

In concrete terms, they had to tell a story, a narrative (beginning-middle-end) in 1 minute, with the educational objectives of structuring and developing visual and sound intentions. Each group drew up a production file supervised by the teacher.

Filming took place over the course of a single day, either in the campus hall, in the immediate vicinity of the campus or even in the classrooms, obviously taking into account the health precautions inherent in COVID 19.

Each group was provided with the following technical equipment: 1 GH5 Panasonic hybrid camera, a tripod, a light pack, a sound case with 1 Sennheiser MKE600 microphone and 1 SoundDevice MixPRE 3 recorder.
