After graduating from high school, I took a gap year at Open Studio in Amsterdam, where I learned about filmmaking and digital media. I attended classes in editing, writing, directing, cinematography, lighting, sound design, and more, while working on many practical projects. The program was divided into four blocks, each focused on a different theme. The first block covered the basics of filmmaking, including lighting, sound, and camera work, with a one-minute project. The second block focused on experimental filmmaking through a music video. The third explored non-fiction, and the fourth was centered on fiction and media art. All the projects I worked on that year were part of this program.

To practice sound design the entire group (14p) collaborated. From making to foley to the final sound mix, everything was made by the students.
This was an Open Studio project.
