📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
During the virtual workcamp you will learn and gain a deeper understanding on the analysis of movies and comics. What are the hidden meanings and why is it created in a certain way? You will learn the different elements on how to analyse comics and movies.
The virtual camp will be carried out by the ESC volunteer Mathilda who developed a passion for watching movies and followed by wanting to gain a deeper understanding on what makes a movie great. Likewise, when reading a comic, there are so many elements involved in the process of developing a comic or movie which makes it interesting to discover and explore the reasons behind it.
💼 What the programme involves
The comic strip Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Waterson and the movie Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock will be used. Additionally, there will be a workshop given about Cultural Awareness which will be of added value to the analyses.
