24-6341 Directing II In this workshop class, students direct short scenes for the camera in order to refine the material and bring it to dramatic life. Students guide scenes from pre-production through production and post-production, and exercise a broad range of directorial responsibilities. Exercises utilize pre-existing material, two of which are chosen by the instructor. The class concentrates on developing blocking skills, using composition and actor movement to emphasize the dramatic subtext of a scene. Students work at defining character, motivation, and conflict throughout directing the material. Besides the discussion of necessary craft skills, emphasis is placed on developing basic directing and storytelling skills such as: visual continuity, effective blocking, appropriate composition, and movement within a scene. Inevitably, this is tied to the student’s ability to define character, motivation, and conflict through an understanding of story and subtext.
