This workshop will cover the 5 steps:
1. Block - The professional actors walk through the scene and we mark their starting and ending positions for the camera.
2. Light - We light the "hot" set and place the camera in its starting position while the actors are in hair/makeup/wardrobe getting ready.
3. Rehearse - We rehearse the entire scene with camera, sound and actors.
4. Tweak - Last looks for the set, camera, lighting, sound, and performances.
5. Shoot - The shot with different takes.
Hours = 4 (setup/workshop/breakdown)
OBJECTIVES:
Breakdown elements of the narrative dialogue scene
Learn the tools of cinematic film production (camera, sound, etc.)
Collaborate with mentors and peers
Build a community of film artists
Practice film form
OUTCOMES:
Knowledge in film arts
Competency in production concepts
New skill set
This immersive workshop will offer Attendees/Learners (A/L)
a practical theory on how to shoot a narrative film dialogue scene.
This workshop will empower A/L with the tools necessary for
collaboration & expression. A/L will work with professional film artists
the day of the workshop and walk away with the knowledge to apply
these production skills in the future.
1st hour - attendees/learners will be instructed that film artists
will be implementing the five stages necessary to shoot a scene. Before
and after each stage, film artists will explain what they are doing for
the scene. Film artists will be available to answer questions as they work.
This will create a space for a dynamic learning model that is effective,
social, and interactive. The film artists will reset back to the first stage once we have executed all five stages for the shot.
2nd hour - attendees/learners will have the opportunity to practice
the skills that they saw the film artists applying in the 1st hour. We will
repeat the five steps from the 1st hour, shot by shot. This time film artists
will act as mentors and let attendees/learners work in front and behind
the camera.
