Special Effects
(AGES: 12 -18)
Special Effects Workshop Program
At all times, the cinema has been pleased to create imaginary and dreamlike worlds populated by fabulous or monstrous creatures, time or space travel and characters with inhuman powers. But how do you go about filming what you cannot see in the real world? You can discover how!
Get to know the world of special effects and learn about (or re-discover) the work of one pioneer in the field: Georges Méliès. Appearance, disappearance, duplication of characters, gigantic and tiny creatures will be on the program. Through a playful and creative workshop, discover why cinema has been and always will be “magical.”
EDUCATIONAL GOALS:
- Immerse participants in the early days of film history to understand that the films they watch today are the result of a long history.
- Understand that cinema is the art of moving images and that special effects will be imposed on the images, and not on the reality.
- To discover how to use a camera as well as the primordial role of the editing in the special effects process.
- To develop the participants' creativity while taking into account the technical constraints of the “7th Art” (referring to the art of filmmaking).
- Encourage the participants collaborate as the cinema is a collective art form where everyone contributes, according to their role, to a common goal.
