Service Description
Two day hands-on seminar for actors and film-makers to learn screen direction, blocking and the choreography between the performance and the lens. This class is ideal for actors who want to strengthen their on-camera performance by creatively blocking their action, practicing the 180 degree rule of the eye-line, and hitting their marks - while remembering their lines! This class also offers directors & cinematographers the opportunity to practice visual story-telling and learn how to construct a story-arc and build tension with the lens. You will shot-list while utilizing the180 rule and use professional camera equipment to shoot a scene. The hope is to have an even split between the actors and filmmakers in this course.
