This workshop is ideal for new filmmakers as well as those interested in refining their skills. Focus will be on practical aspects of directing such as casting, locations, storyboards, budget driven technical decisions, 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 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.
