The parts that make a film whole (Directing//Shooting)
The parts that make a film whole (Directing//Shooting)
How do we want to tell our film’s story? What elements of filmmaking can we use to capture material for our short? In week 2 we will focus on various approaches to directing and methods of creating footage and capturing sound. Drawing on the concept of developing a visual language, we will explore how different creative elements in film can be designed to craft emotion and tell our stories. Participants will leave this session with a practical plan (whether with a crew, alone, or using found/archive footage) to shoot their film over the following week. Skills in camera and sound will be collaboratively explored depending on the interests of the group.
Please bring any film equipment (camera, phone, audio recorder, etc.) you may want to work with to this session.
All roles (directors, producers, cinematographers, sound designers, composers, editors, production designers, costume designers, etc.) and levels of experience (from none to advanced) are welcome!
