Whether you are working with a small or large crew, learn about directing a project on any scale. Focus will be on the practical aspects of directing such as casting, locations, storyboards, rehearsals, telling a story with pictures, the psychology of composition, moving camera, screen direction, eye-lines and the axis, shooting schedule, on set protocol, and other production concerns. Film clips are shown to illustrate key points and generate a discussion. As a hands-on exercise, the participants will break down a scene from a film script and compare with how the film’s director actually shot it.
