Curriculum

First year

In the first year of undergraduate studies, students acquire basic knowledge in key professional areas that form the basis for their future professional development. The program includes subjects such as classical animation, the basics of digital production, nude drawing, the history of animated film and the history of the Zagreb School of Animated Film. Through an integrated approach to theoretical-practical subjects, first-year students gradually build a solid base of knowledge and skills, ready for further challenges on their educational and creative path. The emphasis is on understanding the principles of animation, developing a sense of movement, rhythm and visual expression, as well as getting to know the historical and cultural context of the medium.

Second year

In the second year of study, students have the opportunity to significantly deepen and improve the knowledge acquired during the first year of study and get acquainted with new techniques and approaches in animation. Special emphasis is placed on the development of advanced skills in classical animation, mastering computer animation and exploring experimental animation techniques that encourage creativity and innovation.

Specialized courses are also being introduced to provide students with tools to understand the more complex aspects of animated film. Through a series of lectures, practical exercises and assignments, students develop a sense of directing animated film, creating more complex animated sequences and combining different disciplines – such as storytelling, visual style, animation, editing and sound – into a coherent and artistically strong whole of auteur animated film.

Third year

In the third year of the undergraduate study of Animated Film, students intensively expand and improve the knowledge acquired during the first two years, applying them to their own creative projects. The development of their own projects is the central element of the year, along with theoretical lectures, practical exercises and project tasks that enable the exploration of advanced computer animation techniques, the improvement of classical animation and the understanding of directing and authorial principles. Students develop authorial thinking, shaping the story, visuals, rhythm and sound into a coherent artistic whole.

They are also introduced to the entire process of animated film production, including pre-production, production and post-production, and acquire skills in managing all segments of film creation, from the idea and script to editing and finishing. The final original animated film is the culmination of three years of work, demonstrates the acquired knowledge and creative vision, and enables students to affirm themselves as professional animators ready for the challenges of the local and international animated film industry.
