Each crew meets with instructor to discuss stories, storyboards, floor plans, production plans, casting, and locations. Learn how exposure, focus, and lens choice affect the shot. Apply lessons to your first film. This class is designed to demystify the craft of film making. Technical aspects of filmmaking are approached as tools for students to express the objective of the given scene.
Students shoot directing exercises in class with supervision of the instructor.
Exercises will help students prepare for their weekend shoot. This is the first of four films you will direct. You will work in groups of four people, rotating in the positions of Director, Director of Photography, Assistant Camera, or Gaffer. You have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to shoot your films.
