About the final project for: Audiovisual Pre-Production: Narrative and Creative Direction

Audiovisual Pre-Production: Narrative and Creative Direction

“Thank you very much for having accompanied us until the last twist of the script. We hope that everything learned will help you to develop your course project and all the stories you want to tell in the future. This is just the beginning. Now let's review the key phases of the project. We would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. The text Write the text you are going to work on. It can be a scene or an entire script. During the course we have used our short B-167-980-098 as an example to talk about how a weapon passes from hand to hand and the consequences it has.

Find references Make a mood board, a list of movies that inspire you, scenes, camera movements, etc. It would also be very helpful if you draw a simple storyboat and shot list to serve as a reference as well.
Deciding locations and casting They can also be references of what you would like, in order to start looking for something that is close to what you need. Also look for faces that you like and that are close to what you have in mind for your characters.
Art, makeup and costumes Reflect on how these three departments can help tell more things, give context. Transmit something to whoever sees you.
The edition Lastly, don't forget the post-production part. He talks about the sound from before. Imagine the music, if there will be or if it will be silent. Think about what color correction you would like. Look for references. Don't forget to bounce this on whoever is shooting your scene.

Film Directors

Mariana Arriaga and Santiago Arriaga are siblings and codirectors. They grew up in a family of storytellers who instilled in them the desire to tell stories. They both studied communication and cinema, and at the end of their studies they codirected their first short films. It was from there that they decided to found the production house Memento Mori Films, where they made short films, fashion films, music videos, commercials, and experimental pieces.

Their short films have been selected for the Ariel Awards, the Morelia International Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, LA Shorts, the Guanajuato International Film Festival, and the Kustendorf Film Festival, among others.

After five years, they decided to leave their production company as a creative label to focus on film projects. They are currently working on their first feature film—Cielo Abierto.
