MIDPOINT Intensive CZ 2021

A script is written few times, in three basic steps to be exact: the first step is the actual writing with all its rewritings, what follows is the cinematic adaptation that within includes the integration of the cinematic elements: locations, casting, mise-en–scene, framing. It is essentially a visual conception and therefore an adaptation of the written to the given limitations. The third and last step is editing where the script is written or rewritten again, this is the moment of letting go in order to find the story yet again.

Step 1: Writing
Finding the right story and putting it on paper is about passion, an idea, inner urge, motivation and answering the crucial WHY!

Step 2: Shooting and preparation
Visualization of the written is about using the full potential of the cinematic form, an imperative step of the film-making process.

Step 3: Editing
The process of letting go and allowing the footage to take reign! Accepting what’s on the screen versus what was on the paper is essential to this stage, because in reality the script after the passage through the three stages, this is in case everything is done properly and studiously, is always bigger/should be bigger than what is written!
