- Create scripts and make short films following the Lumière Brothers model (one-minute films with a single shot);

Why is it a good practice in the visual area?
This project aims to sensitize students from several schools to the creative process of filmmaking, with the main objective of addressing the narrative, educating for cinema through contact with audiovisual language and providing a space for creation, experimentation and learning, using audiovisual tools as a method to stimulate young people’s creativity and enhance different ways of expressing themselves and communicating.
Through the viewing of the Lumière brothers’ films, students are challenged to learn about the techniques of filmmaking and the different phases of preparing and shooting a film, in order to understand the creative and technical process, by analyzing the strategies and methods chosen in the adaptation of the story’s imagery.
The project also features a practical part that invites students to create their own films inspired by the techniques used by the Lumière brothers, using audiovisual also as an outcome. This component, in addition to theory, allows students to develop creative and argumentative skills while creating their own film, also enhancing their sense of collaborative reflection and teamwork.
Training Team
A person with a degree in cinema who helps students understand filmmaking techniques and the processes used in each film. The practical part of the project can also be done by this person or by another person with experience in the audiovisual area.
