This course has been taught to aspiring directors, directors of photography, script supervisors, producers & editors in several film colleges within the United Sates.
The Rules of Continuity and filmmaking are thoroughly explained and applied to pre-visualizing your film project, storyboarding your ideas (whether you can draw or not) and then using the learned rules (or 'breaking the rules') to block and design your scenes and shots so that, not only are you shooting efficiently, but you deliver film footage that will cut together seamlessly and in continuity.
What you will learn
- The basic language and rules of continuity: maintaining continuity for screen direction and eyelines (i.e. the 180 degree line, directional patterns of movement, matching angles and looks in coverage, etc.)
- Maintaining narrative continuity from script to screen.
- Maintaining continuity of space and time.
- Matching action techniques - (cutting on action, entrances and exits, overlapping action).
- Planning and shooting a basic sequence - placing the camera and learning how to resolve all continuity issues.
- Using storyboards to communicate your shooting plan (even if you can't draw).
- Study the visual components of cinema: space, line, movement which can help shape and create a visual structure for your film that supports and enhances your story.
- Blocking strategies for dialogue scenes: working with 2 to large groups of people.
- The working relationship between the director, director of photography, editor & script supervisor from pre-production thru post production.
- An overview of the script supervisor's job: includes a discussion on the information contained in the script supervising book and how the director and editor utilize that information during the filmmaking process.
