Aim
The aim is to broaden theoretical and practical knowledge of photography and as an introduction to the world of audiovisual language in the representation of space and architecture, based on an approach to the work of RCR Arquitectes and the photography of Hisao Suzuki. The exercises combine reflection on the work process and its implementation from a conscious approach to space and everything that surrounds us, contributing to the awakening of the senses. The audiovisual language is developed following the different phases of the production process in which each participant, individually or in groups, will carry out a creative video exercise.
Program
Campus. Lectures on the camera and photography, silence and light, the work of the architectural photographer, the workflow with Photoshop and Lightroom, the monitor, printing on paper, editing and publication. You will study the bases of audiovisual language, formats, storytelling, montage, sound and music, and the work workflow with Premiere Pro. There will be joint visits to the work of RCR Arquitectes in the surrounding area.
Creative Workshop. Each participant will make a photographic report on a free theme and an audiovisual one, putting into practice the knowledge learnt.
Reviews. Corrections with Hisao Suzuki and the teaching team and reviews with RCR Arquitectes.
