Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Working with a student who is looking to understand and become familiar with the independent as well as studio world of producing directing and writing. I take the student through a series of lessons which outline for them the process of producing and directing movies both in the inderpendent as well as studio worlds. I take the stuident through the ABCs of the directing process as well as studying the realtionship between the director, producer and writer. The student will have a simple and practical lesson in compostion and camera framing, angels, lenses, pre and post production and some hands on experience making a short film. As well, we explore basic tecniques of screenplay writing and explore cinema history to create a more well rounded understanding of cinema and the moving image. Depending on the level the student wants to take it to I offer more advanced classes in cinema as well.
