FILM 388: Directing Actors for Camera

Directing and cinematography students from SCA and acting students from TTS explore unique challenges and opportunities of collaboration between film directors, cinematographers, and theater actors. Emphasis will be placed on the actor/director and director/DP relationships, the relationship between the camera and performer, visual storytelling, blocking for the camera, and onset logistical considerations. Through a series of in-class exercises students will craft scenes for 2 - 3 actors.
