EKRAN+ 2015 was the 11th edition of the programme. It was designed for the filmmakers wishing to benefit from the creative time of pre-production. EKRAN+ offered them opportunity of stimulating meeting and working out their common language of the film. Participants were developing their feature film projects’ with the unique method linking the script development with visualization process -that is shooting two crucial scenes from each participant’s script. The directors tested their visual ideas on screen, even before entering production phase of the film. They used preproduction time transforming their ideas from paper to screen, experimenting with casting, locations, style of photography, ways of working with actors and staging. EKRAN+ gave them the opportunity to use this time and space to make all the mistakes, so that they do not make them later while shooting the film.Within the scheme of EKRAN+ 2015 edition nine creative teams from: Israel, Spain, France, Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, Croatia, Austria and Switzerland developed their nine feature fiction projects.EKRAN+, among many scriptwriting and production focused programmes supported by Creative Europe MEDIA programme is the only one concentrated on directing skills. In each edition of EKRAN+ are involved ca. 60 actors, 15 cinematographers, 3 production managers, 7 editors, as well as sound editors, set designers, casting directors, prop-masters, make-up artists and researchers. EKRAN+ We produces 18 scenes, each lasting 3-5 min. -which can be only compared to producing the feature film.EKRAN+ 2015 first session was focused on the development of the treatment, setting general directions for development of the story, search for visual strategies for the film projects, and preparation for shooting of the two scenes. Second session was dedicated to further treatment or script development, exploring creative elements of the film language and producing participants ‘scenes with polish actors speaking English and polish DOPs. For the third session, participants invited their national actors and DOPs and shot the scene in their national language as well as consulted their scripts or treatments with script-doctors. The process of EKRAN+ sessions was literally the journey «from paper to screen». The group of participants and tutors started from analysis of the scene, re wrote it, casted, rehearsed, draw the storyboards, shot the scene, edited it, and screened and analyzed with the same group the produced scene. EKRAN+ supported each step of pre-production, production and post-production with the expertise of experienced directors-tutors.At the end of the EKRAN+ programme, each team had a well-developed treatment or a first draft of the script and two scenes, presenting the tone, genre and visual language of the project. The scenes with its specifically cast actors, selected location, props and style of photography, can be treated by participants and their producers as a Demo/Pilot visual material to accompany the script as a part of the Production Package, and to be used in search for financing of the film. However they can be as well treated as a testing material or visual laboratory and not to be shown to decision makers. The final decision how to approach the EKRAN+ scheme depends on the participants. |
