Week 12: Production & Direction for Camera - Intro

Our first lecture was an introduction to the module ‘Production & Direction for Camera’. We were introduced to what we will be covering through the year, what we will be assessed on and also how we will be assessed.

During the first term we will cover creating and developing story structure, rehearsal processes, working with actors and ‘screencraft’. This involves seven basic aspects of putting together a scene – ‘Seven Visual Blocks’: space, line, tone, shape, colour, movement and rhythm. In the second term we will study the seven visual blocks in further detail and also discuss approaches to shooting, editing and basic production techniques. Finally in the third term we will mainly be concentrating on producing the final edit of our film and all the documentation to go with it.

We have been given five different scripts to read, out of which we need to choose one to produce and direct.
