Directing Actors for the Screen | (Fall 2023)
This advanced film/video production course focuses on developing the directorial skills needed for successful collaboration with actors. Through discussions, exercises, workshops, and casting sessions, we cast, rehearsed, and shot short scenes from various genres. We emphasized script and character analysis, creating dramatic conflict, and working closely with actors and cinematographers. During this course, I directed a scene from "Napoleon Dynamite" and assisted in cinematography for a scene from the TV show "Barry."
