Film-Making Technique

True film making is more than a series of filmed images, it is a story that is fulfilled and delivered visually. The technical requirements of filming a script is only a small part of the film making process. How do you develop and create a compelling story that is filled with honest character driven dialogue and humanity? How do you plan a production to maximize the availability of talent, personnel and locations? How do you develop a shot list to insure you have all the coverage necessary to complete your production? How do you control continuity during the filming of the script so you can edit efficiently? How do you develop a “look and style” for your production? What does it take to actually deliver a project with the expectation of distribution? These questions, and many others, will be answered as you complete your video during the film making classes.
