1. A constant shift between traditional class teaching, practical exercises and film production.
This offers you theoretical knowledge of film production as well as the chance to actually practice everything you learn in class. In terms of teaching, each course period consist of app. 25 teaching hours per week – and in terms of film production, our students produce more than 100 short films together during the programme.
2. The fact that students cannot pick a specific field of study, but are forced to dive into at least 3 different fields of filmmaking.
On one side, this allows our students to explore their true talent (maybe your talent is actually editing, and not directing?) – and on the other side, knowing more about other fields of filmmaking will make you better at your preferred field.
The only requirements for taking sound at EFC is an open mind and at least one ear… The main goal of learning sound for film at EFC is to awaken your hearing perception.
In the sound course at EFC you will learn to celebrate the fact that your ears do not have ‘earlids’! You will learn to stimulate and improve your hearing sense by listening to beautiful sounds and by learning the processes, techniques, theories and best practices within sound design and sound recording. This will enable you to enhance the narrative of a story in close dialogue with the rest of the film crew.
You will learn how to: use hardware such as microphones, mixers, recorders, be part of a film crew and preform as a sound person on set, use software such as editing and mixing in post-production, and finalize the film, having cared for its sound, from the idea to the finished product.
