Presentation of the course :
Instructor: Albert Merino
The Moving Image Writing course involves Master 1 and Master 2 students. It exposes students from various branches to video, exploring editing and post-production software to stimulate their creativity in their respective fields. They analyze various audiovisual fields and the history of editing, and explore Found Footage as a common thread, experimenting and deconstructing through personal projects. Objectives include understanding narrative principles, analyzing audiovisual works, and creatively applying techniques in personal projects. The course encourages the creation of a singular vision, the development of one’s own style, and the exploration of the Found Footage concept as a common thread.

The project explores the theme of solitude, going beyond social isolation, including its existence within a crowd. Using film and music extracts, it pays tribute to this paradoxical feeling. Some people choose solitude, others experience it despite a fulfilling social life. Inspired by “Into the Wild”, the project presents various lonely characters, exploring both the positive and negative aspects of isolation. The aim is to show their struggles, successes, failures, and the lessons of introspection, while highlighting the risks of losing oneself in solitude. A soundtrack accompanies the visual narrative.
