Cinema’s pedagogical essence nurtures a variety of educational strategies. Beyond serving as a support to other areas of knowledge or as the subject of artistic analysis, it also provides students with a means to give – freely and significantly – voice to their own concerns and interests. Short film production in schools can offer a process for young people to deal with personal and social challenges, fostering a closer connection between them and their community and environment. Schools are natural habitats for this encounter – a place where film production can generate significant educational and cultural resonance. This paper reflects on the didactic potential of short film production in schools – as a key to fulfil formal and non-formal pedagogical goals – through the presentation and analysis of a recently implemented methodology for education through film: Olhar pela Lente, a project developed in Portugal during 2018.

In a film production, production design is an important aspect that supports the narrative or story.  In production design visual metaphors are often used as concepts for sets and props which have the ability to transform a long text into a shorter visual. Visual metaphor itself is a representation of a place, person, nature, and object that can be a tool to build a narrative as well as describe the nature of a character in a film. The use of visual metaphors can be done by understanding the characters in the film, because each have different characteristics and its own uniqueness. By understanding and using the 3-dimensional aspect of the character as the basis for the design of sets and props, production designers can apply visual metaphors in the design of sets and properties that are suitable for the needs of characters and narratives in films. This paper uses a qualitative approach which elaborates the process of applying visual metaphors into the set and properties design, by using the 3-dimensional character theory as the base for producing the short film trailer entitled Setengah Nada Bergeming. This research finds that by dissecting each element of the 3-dimensional character, production designer can intensify not only how a character is represented and how its contributes in building the entire narrative of the story.

Film is a medium that can be used to convey a message or story in audio and visual form. Film, which also functions as an art medium, can be used to communicate about a social phenomenon that occurs in society. This paper aims to examine social phenomena that occur in society and reflect on these things through the film "Luckiest Man on Earth" and how the inferiority complex affects the stories contained in this film. The fictional film "Luckiest Man on Earth" tells the story of a young man who works as an ojek at a tourism location in Indonesia and meets a woman of French descent. With Google Translate, they can communicate with one another, but this is used by the motorcycle taxi driver as material to show off to friends and relatives that he has a girlfriend of French descent. This film is produced based on the concept of an inferiority complex that is deeply embedded in Indonesian society.

The 1990s marked the beginning of a period of unprecedented film production activity in Scotland, part of the wider outpouring of artistic expression – notably in literature, theatre and painting – that occurred in the aftermath of the 1979 Scottish Assembly debacle and which came to constitute a kind of cultural devolution in the absence of political self-determination. The ‘new Scottish cinema’ provided a steady stream of films like Rob Roy (1995), Trainspotting (1996), Small Faces (1996), Regeneration (1997), My Name is Joe (1998), Mrs Brown (1998), Orphans (1998) and Ratcatcher (1999). These were underpinned by a fledging infrastructure that included significant new sources of finance for feature development and production, short film schemes designed to develop new talent and encouragement and assistance for incoming international productions. Therefore, it is all the more disappointing that since the achievement of political devolution in 1999, this creative energy and excitement has largely dissipated with the result that there is now less funding available for Scottish film-making than in the period before the return of a parliament and executive to Edinburgh. This article explores the implications of this ‘cultural eclipse’, exploring the power of the moving image to contribute in powerful ways to national projection and identity and charting the ways in which cinematic representations of Scotland have changed and developed before considering some of the reasons why the creative energy of the 1990s was subsequently dissipated. This state of affairs is contrasted with the success of film and television in Denmark, another small European nation that has adopted a markedly more enlightened approach to policy-making and institution-building.

 AbstrakPenelitian ini menguji dampak desain dan pengembangan produksi film pendek renewable energy terhadap pengetahuan, minat dan atensi atau kepedulian mahasiswa terhadap renewable energy. Model pembelajaran, yaitu produksi film pendek, dikembangkan dengan fitur-fitur utama dari pelajaran video dan fitur lain dalam mendukung proses belajar mahasiswa. Beberapa film pendek menggambarkan proses produksi biodiesel atau energi terbarukan, yang merupakan salah satu permasalahan krusial saat ini tentang berkurangnya energi fosil yang harus segera diatasi. Mahasiswa sebagai generasi muda penerus bangsa kurang peduli terhadap permasalahan ini, sehingga perlu adanya model pembelajaran tentang energi terbarukan  yang dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan, minat dan kepedulian mahasiswa terhadap berkurangnya energi fosil saat ini. Salah satu model pembelajaran alternatif untuk memperjelas subyek ini adalah melalui produksi film pendek bertema renewable energy di kelas Audio Visual. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif dan metode kuantitatif. Responden dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 64 mahasiswa dari kelompok mata kuliah Audio Visual. Model Pembelajaran sepenuhnya menggunakan film pendek. Evaluasi dampak dari model pembelajaran ini menunjukkan bahwa ternyata dengan model pembelajaran ini pengetahuan, minat dan atensi atau kepedulian mahasiswa meningkat setelah memproduksi film pendek dengan tema renewable energy. Kata kunci: film pendek, renewable energy, model pembelajaran, dampak pembelajaran AbstractThis study examines the impact of design and development short film production themed Renewable energy towards students’ knowledge, interests and attention to renewable energy. The learning model, namely short film production was developed with the main features of video lessons and other features in supporting student learning. Some short films describe the process of biodiesel production or renewable energy, which is one of the crucial problems at present about the reduction in fossil energy, which should be addressed immediately. Students as the nation's next generation of young people did not care about this problem, so there needs to be a learning model of renewable energy that can increase students' knowledge, interest and attention for the current reduction of fossil energy. One of learning model to clarify this subject is through the production of Short Film with the theme of Renewable energy in the Audio Visual class. The research method used is descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. Respondents in this study were 64 students from Audio Visual courses. The learning model fully uses short films. The evaluation of this learning model, which shows that it turns out that with this learning model knowledge, interest and attention or concern of students increased after producing a short film with the theme Renewable energy.Keywords: short film, renewable energy, learning model, impact of learning
