In this blog I'll explain the defenitive courses I have chosen. I canceled some I had earlier and added some new ones..

My definitive list is:

  • Producing and Directing
  • For this course we will make two projects. One is a TV program, the other one is free of choice. It could be a documentary or a small movie for example. It's a very tough course and for the Turkish students of Cinema & Television it is a graduation project.
  • Basic Photography
  • I decided to take class after all because we'll also work with analoque cameras and develope the films ourselves..that last part is something I'm not familliar with, so it should be interesting!
  • Visual Composition
  • I love this course. Nezih teaches it and we will be making 4 short movies. the first is one is with two persons. I allready have an idea and I'm thinking of starting it on my own because I will be very busy with other projects as well.
  • Television project
  • Denes Tozser has to find 100 interesting things of Eskisehir and show this in anyway he can for his internship for his university in Hungary. He decided to use film as the medium and asked me to help him. I agreed on it and Nezih Ohrun told me I can put in the Television project course..We will have to make a list of the top 10 or 20 for example and make one movie or several short ones about this top 10 or 20.
  • Turkish language
  • I'm not sure I will be taking this class any longer..I do like it but it will be to busy for me doing all those projects and learn Turkish grammar as well..I'll let you know if I decide to drop it or not.
  • Cultural Diversity
  • Cultural Diversity is very nice as well and I will not be dropping this one. It's very interesting and fun at the same time. The course is a mix between theory and games. It is a nice way of learning about cultural differences because the class is filled with Erasmus students and Turkish..It is a multicultural class and in that way we have the whole world right next to us.
