What You Will Learn:
The essential concepts and knowledge in shooting narrative films.

- 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.
