Situation

Watching and making: a specific question of cinema which allows the discovery of the different parameters of cinema on every encounter (mise-en-scène, sound, light, acting, editing…), and resources to be explored in an educational context (film clips, film analysis, texts, practical exercises, workshops films). Places and stories under examination: As they go through situations – wanted or forced onto them, classified or unknown – the characters change, metamorphose and even sometimes shift as part of some decisive moments.

Watching Making

Rules of the Game

Working on individual and group exercises outlined by a strict set of rules allows us to experiment with and understand the elements at play in this question of cinema. Over to you!

From a selection of paintings, make a choice. What does this picture tell us ? What situation do the characters find themselves in? How are they linked to each other? Record a commentary track (whether improvised or from a written text), which then, during the editing, will be associated to the painting.

Film a situation between two characters that allows us to understand the relations between the two characters : with sound but without using dialogue or a voice over.

Film a situation between two characters linked to an emotion (repeat the exact same situation, but change the space where this encounter takes place, and change the manner in which you film it).

Workshops Exercises

Selection of exercises made by groups of young people aged from 6 – 20 in 15 countries throughout the world.

Workshops Films

Rules of the film: Film a situation between two characters linked to an emotion (repeat the exact same situation, but change the space where this encounter takes place, and change the manner in which you film it).
