Orientation year Film Academy & HKU
Every year, many more students apply to the various academies than there are training places. In the Orientation Year you prepare thoroughly for the admission procedure so that you can make a motivated choice for a study program and a discipline.
The education has an experimental and investigative character in which one's own creativity is stimulated. The Orientation Year focuses much more on gaining insight than on acquiring knowledge and experience.
The lessons always consist of a short theoretical introduction, but more than half of the time you are involved in practical activities: learning by doing. The following elements are covered:
Getting acquainted with the different disciplines; direction, screenplay, camera, production, sound, editing and production design.
Discovery of preferences and development of talents.
Group education and individual learning and working.
Film and media history.
Information about the courses of study at the various academies.
Preparation for the intake & admission procedures.
Visiting Film Festivals.
Creation of a portfolio of own material (outside the program). For this you get 8 days from Open Studio. To be recorded by appointment before the last day of the courses. These days cannot be transferred or exchanged for anything else.
This is really an exploratory year, intended to continue learning at one of the film/media academies (NFTA, HKU-KMT (6 subfaculties), St. Joost, Willem de Kooning Academy).
