Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
There is an issue concerning the prerequisites for this workshop and, indeed, for all the directing workshops: Can a student can take 2 Direcing Workshops 1 without having first taken 1 Directing Workshops 1? The logical answer is no. But experience thus far has shown us that something of the sort is possible in some cases. Still, our concerns about this subject remain.
Learning Outcomes
The students are taken through the basic stages in the director’s collaborations with the cast and crew at each stage in the making of a film. This unavoidably leads to issues relating to style.
They learn how to communicate their directorial vision to everyone else involved in the production. They also learn how to embellish that vision through their collaborations.
They see how essential each member of the crew and cast is.
They work with them to complete the exercises they are set during the semester.
