Course Content (Syllabus)
In the Direction Workshop IV, we emphasize the use of stationary blocking and its function in a dialogue scene. Starting from the rules of composition we examine blocking patterns (shapes) with a certain number of subjects.
We explore ways of constructing narrative focus and the depth of story information. We study the function of unrestricted narration, restricted narration, the function of the narrator, the subjective shot, the perspective of sound, perceptual subjectivity and mental subjectivity.
We examine how perceptual subjectivity within a scene (POV) is shaped and ways of creating levels of identification.
