What You Will Learn:
The essential concepts and knowledge in shooting narrative films.
* Coverage; and different types of shots necessary for cutting a scene.
* Break downs of scenes and their shots from selected films.
* Necessary elements that make shots cut together seamlessly. How to make all the different shots within a scene "match", i.e. camera placement and screen direction, the 180 degree rule, matching sizes, matching eyelines, and matching angles.
* How to "cheat in coverage" will be demonstrated.
* Classic tricks cinematographers use to make a shot more "powerful."
* This will be demonstrated by composing shots with the use of a DSLR camera and studio monitor.
* We will collaboratively construct a shot list and storyboard from a shooting script. Then, we will construct a shot list and storyboard for the same scene - in a typical comedy, murder mystery and horror film.

Who Should Attend:
All levels of filmmakers, videographers, cinematographers, camera operators, directors, producers, content creators, convergence shooters, journalists, and all other crew positions. The workshop is designed for students and professionals.
