COURSE DETAIL:
This course is for researchers and associate producers who are starting to direct; but everyone involved in production will benefit – runners, producers, production managers. It's suitable whether you're working in broadcast, corporate or on the web.
The clear aim of the course is to give production people the skill to direct efficiently and creatively on location. The objectives are to give delegates:
• An understanding of the underlying principles behind shooting and editing, and how to apply them in different circumstances.
• Knowledge of the available camera, sound and lighting kit, and how it can open up creative possibilities.
• The ability to recce, schedule and shoot efficiently; and produce the paperwork involved – call sheets, shooting orders and risk assessments.
• A clear understanding of how to tell a story visually.
• Strategies to get the best from artists, crew and editors.
• And some tips on coping with disasters on location…
Schedule: The course is one day, from 9.15am to 5.30pm with a break for lunch. It’s intense, but also interactive, and illustrated with lots of behind-the-scenes clips.
The course tutor is Patrick Titley, an experienced location director who’s won several awards for his work, including a BAFTA and an RTS. Patrick runs the in-house directing course for ITV, and gives lectures on production.
This course crams a lot into one day, making it both efficient and economical for those unable to make our 2 day or 5 day courses. You can view or download a full prospectus below. Here's what some people have said about previous courses:
"I found the whole day extremely inspirational and I came away with many helpful hints and insights into directing that I will carry forward with me into the future."
"I would go as far to say it was one of the most useful courses I’ve been on both at Granada and at the BBC where I worked for 4 years."
"(One) thing I found really useful was the technical knowledge you imparted to us. Until now the only technical knowledge I’ve had has come from talking to the crew and it was great to gain a better understanding of lighting and filters and how to use them to create different effects. I will feel much more confident with crews in the future."
"...this taught me what I would have learnt at film school over 2-3 years."Next courses:
