FILM 285: Directing III: Scene Study

In this course students implement knowledge learned in casting and rehearsing to direct actors in micro-scenes increasing in complexity. Students will explore how staging changes from two- to three-person scenes and be introduced to ensemble work. The class culminates in exploring the relationship between camera and performance that will be deepened in subsequent courses.

FILM 284 is a prerequisite for this class.
