Course Overview:

On this course, you’ll learn how to bring a script to life, and gain an invaluable understanding of the director’s process, the equipment involved on set and in post-production. You will come to gain an appreciation of the character and holistic skills and knowledge required to work closely with scriptwriters, cinematographers, actors, the sound and lighting crew, and everyone else that has a role on set, and behind the scenes.

A film director is the creative force behind a production, controlling a film’s artistic and dramatic aspects, such as script interpretation, the performance of actors, the positioning of cameras, the use of lighting, as well as making sure everything that happens in post-production aligns with the director’s ultimate vision.
