Learn how to tell your story visually through creative camera placement. Explore the art of the montage and the science of forcing perspective. Learn the vocabulary used to describe lens selection, camera placement, and motion. In this class, we will begin with the preproduction tools and vocabulary necessary for effective previsualization. Analysis of scenes from notable films will give students a background in existing conventions, with subsequent hands-on exercises to practice the concepts learned in class. A culminating project will take us through a complete blocking and shooting of a short scripted scene. Prior experience in editing or camera operation, or prior attendance in a NWFF Video Production Basics class is recommended.
