STUDIO is a total of 20 ECTS, divided into three parts (5 + 10 + 5)
Part 1: Basics of film narration (5 ECTS) - Teacher: Vantte Lindevall
The course introduces the basics of film narration and learns to plan, shoot, record and edit video and audio material.

Part 3: Unfinished Processes: Moving Image Workshop (5 ECTS) - Teacher: Henrik Edlund
The aim of the workshop-based course is to explore the use of moving image as a form of artistic expression. In this workshop we will focus intensively on our own artistic process, forgetting for a moment the pursuit of a finished result. The focus will be on experimentation and discussion, and on emphasising the value of the unfinished process, notes and sketches. The aim is to integrate thinking and written expression into filmmaking, using moving image, sound and text.
The course will start with a pre-assignment that participants will complete independently before the workshop begins. This task will set the base for the objectives of the course and help participants to prepare for an intensive and creative workshop.
The student can:
- choose a theme for a moving image art project
- work with the project according to the set timelines and objectives
- participate in the workshop as a member of a group

The course focuses on making: during the course, students will work on a long photographic project, which will also be 'finished'. The thematic starting points for the projects undertaken during the course will vary according to the students' own interests, but the course will teach a systematic and methodologically structured approach.
The main photographic theoretical starting point is documentary, but the concept is also approached theoretically. This opens it up to critique and thus allows for alternative approaches that can be termed 'expanded documentary'.
The course will provide students with an in-depth look at the many facets of documentary and will equip them for independent photographic work, even over a long period of time.

We will go through the international and Finnish history of photography from the 19th century to the present day.

The course aims to link the well-known names and images in the history of photography to these many connections, while also opening up a view of the future of photography in the digital world.
The course provides the photographer with an essential cultural knowledge base about his or her medium, a source of inspiration and a starting point for the written part of the thesis.

Contents
Colour, Form and Composition is a basic course in visual thinking, consisting of the basics of composition and colour. These areas of knowledge are the core to visual expression through a variety of methods.
Composition is the basis for all visual work - from the layout of pictorial elements on a two-dimensional screen or canvas, to the massing of buildings, the design of control buttons and the look of a car. Through composition, a designer, designer or artist builds a visual story and meaning through the way they place elements of an image in a physical or virtual space.
This course explores the role of composition as a key element of visual work. Through lectures and exercises, the course will study the basics of image composition. Composition is considered as a medium of expression, through which the designer's idea is conveyed to the user, the experiencer and the viewer.
Learning content will include balance, contrast, focus, movement, pattern, unity, rhythm and proportion.
The colour section of the course covers colour theory and understanding through practical exercises and lectures based on existing colour knowledge. The educational content covered includes colour circles, colour spaces, colour contrasts, colour harmonies, the three properties of colour and colour interaction. These areas will also be addressed from the point of view of the fundamentals of expression; how different colour juxtapositions and colour schemes refer to other images, carrying and conveying meanings of emotions and moods.
The aim of this unit is to develop the student's basic colour skills. We will do colour exercises through digital and physical collage and painting. In addition, we will study the analysis of colours in images and the application of colour knowledge in our own work.
Colour skills are needed in all visual work and can be applied to the realisation of two-dimensional physical or digital images, colour solutions for three-dimensional objects or colour design and colour management of different spaces and environments.
The teaching of form is carried out in workshops and in conjunction with composition.
Assessment criteria

They must inform the teacher of any absences and propose a plan for covering missed content. For frequent absences, the completion of the course must be renegotiated with the teacher.
Learning material and recommended literature
Literature to be assigned separately
Learning environment
Campus, visits, Zoom
Contents
The course focuses on making: during the course, students will work on a long time photographic project, which will culminate in an exhibition. The thematic starting points for the projects undertaken during the course will vary according to the students' own interests, but the course will focus on a process-oriented, active and methodologically structured approach. The idea is also to encourage students to reflect on the possibilities and limitations of their chosen techniques and methods, and how expressive choices affect meanings.
The course provides an in-depth look at the many nuances of documentary and prepares students for independent, sustained photographic practice. The course takes documentary as its starting point, exploring different ways of using photography to engage society and understand the world. The concept will also be approached theoretically. The course encourages students to develop critical evaluation skills and to reflect on the possibilities and limitations of documentation in the context of art.
Assessment criteria
The assessment will be based on the completed visual work (50%), participation (25%) and reflective skills (25%), and will be graded on a scale of 1-5. The emphasis on visual work is 50 percent.
