testing special effects: matte painting and chroma key

A visit focused on storytelling in film that demonstrates how a real, or virtual, set begins with a sketch, explains the evolution over time of some special effects techniques and allows participants to experiment with early matte painting, reinventing a setting with colour. In the interactive green screen room, participants star in a short film with three different animated backgrounds thanks to the use of the chroma key technique which places people and objects in virtual settings.

Emotions on screen: in an actor’s shoes

Dramatic settings, unusual props and fairytale costumes are the starting point for a deep dive into the atmospheres evoked by famous films and a reflection on cinema stories and characters. In this workshop, participants experiment with inventing new characters, outlining the characteristics and feelings that will bring them to life, and explore the work of an actor. The students perform brief sketches which will be captured on camera, providing the class with a gallery of digital photographs as a memento of the experience.

ONE MINUTE SHOOT

This visit demonstrates the main characteristics of film styles through key figures in cinema history, from the Lumière Brothers and George Méliès to the directors who shot at Cinecittà. In the workshop,
participants experience work as a film crew: divided into groups, they shoot a short video, drawing inspiration from the iconic ‘one minute’ films that were the Lumière brothers’ earliest productions.
The class is given the media files of the productions as a memento of the experience.
