Special thanks to artist Stephen Daly for the cover image. xi Preface A few years ago, a friend of mine who had worked on my team for many years got her fi rst job as a First Assistant Director (AD). We spent an afternoon in my kitchen with the script of her project and her computer, going through all the basics as well as the more complicated stuff. She had a good idea of what was involved but wanted the reassurance of a more experienced person to guide her through her fi rst steps. In a sense, this book is my way of being that person at the kitchen table for all those who are about to embark on the adventure of Firsting a shoot and, whether they know a little or a lot, want the support of an encouraging friend for their fi rst time out. This book is also for anyone with an interest in the movies who wants to know how they really work. Very few civilians (that is, people who don’t work in the movie business) have even heard of a First Assistant Director, never mind key Second, Second Second, etc. Yet these team members are the backbone of the shoot and the ones who, in the most immediate sense, keep the show on the road. In fact, with a good cameraman, script supervisor and First, you can go a long way without having a director at all! So while I would hope other First ADs might enjoy reading it (and having very different opinions), this book is aimed at people who are consid- ering a career in fi lm or who want to know more about the realities of life as a First AD.

  • Bob Oei Thesis Final Final
    ABSTRACT The Cinematography of Closet Memories Robert Oei, M.A. Advisor: Christopher J. Hansen, M.F.A. The cinematography of a film heavily influences the audience’s mood and their perception of tension. The way a director of photography uses lights and the camera can enhance or destroy the moments of a film a director has built. Keeping this knowledge in mind, the cinematography of Closet Memories uses film noir lighting, a mixture of handheld and smooth camera work, and other techniques to maintain the emotional content of the film’s scenes.

Marshall has worked (and survived) in the Film and Television Industry for over 38 years - as a Film Director, Television Producer, First Assistant Director and Series Creative Consultant. Credits & Awards http://actioncutprint.com/credits1 Updated - March 20, 2012 Copyright (c) 2012 Peter D. Marshall /ActionCutPrint.com All Rights Reserved (1) “The Art and Craft of the Director Audio Seminar” Dear Filmmaker, Thank you for purchasing this 2012 version of "The Art and Craft of the Director Audio Seminar” - a comprehensive, multi-media audio course that demystifies the process of directing and fast tracks your way to becoming a working film and television director. When I first created this course in 2007, I wanted it to be an Online insider's reference guide for filmmakers. Having now updated it five times, I believe this 238 page course (with over 1000 online reference links and videos) will help you to become a successful film director by providing you with the “insider” knowledge I have gained from over 38 years in the film and television business. Although the majority of productions I have worked on were Hollywood feature films, television movies and TV series, the information you will find in this course is easily adaptable to your own low budget independent films - anywhere in the world! All you need to do is take the information in this course - and scale it down for your own productions (short films, small indie films, music videos etc.) I talk a lot about PASSION and TRUTH in this audio course because these are two of the essential ingredients to having a successful directing career.

  • Screenplay Format Guide
    Screenplay Format Guide Format-wise, anything that makes your script stand out is unwise. This may seem counterintuitive. Anything you do to make your screenplay distinctive is good, right? Depart from the traditional format, though, and you risk having your script prejudged as amateurish. A truly conscientious reader will overlook such superficial matters and focus on content. However, if your work looks unprofessional, it may not be taken seriously. To ensure your script gets a fair read, follow these formatting guidelines: It isn’t necessary to file a copyright with the Library of Congress. Your script is automatically protected under common law. However, it’s a good idea to register it, either with an online service, such as the National Creative Registry (protectrite.com), or with the Writers Guild. This being said, the Industry tends to view registration and copyright notices as the marks of a paranoid amateur. You would be wise to leave them off your script. Use a plain cover. White or pastel card stock, not leatherette. Avoid using screw posts or plastic-comb binding. Bind your script with sturdy, brass fasteners, such as those made by ACCOÒ. The ones Staples sells are too flimsy. Readers hate it when a script falls apart in their hands. You can order professional-quality script supplies online from WritersStore.com. Although scripts are printed on three-hole-punched paper, there’s an unwritten rule that speculative scripts are bound with two fasteners, not three. Why this tends to be common practice is unclear. Perhaps it’s because submissions often get copied by the studio’s story department, and it’s easier (and cheaper) if there are only two brads.

  • MMDSW501 SCRIPT WRITING a Screenplay, Or Script, Is a Written
    MMDSW501 SCRIPT WRITING A screenplay, or script, is a written work by screenwriters for a film, television program or video game. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. The script the actors use during filming is primarily dialogue with minimal stage direction. This is similar to the 'spec scripts' given to agents and producers to generate interest in the work. The primary focus here is on telling the story, the word and actions that convey the message. What sound effects or lighting effects that are important to the actor's performance are noted. But, anything not directly impacting the performance are generally left out. The screenplay is the extra layer with everything that was left out of the script. It may very well be the 'shooting script' in most cases, which is less of an actor's tool and more of a director's tool. The screenplay includes those aspects of filming that are outside the actor's purview, things like camera angles and cut or fade instructions, effects that the audience will see but have no effect on the actor's performance while on set. The script, or screenplay, outlines all of the elements (audio, visual, behavior, and dialogue) that are required to tell a story through movies or TV. A script is almost never the work of a single person. Instead, it will go through revisions and rewrites, and ultimately will be interpreted by the producers, directors, and actors.

  • The Screenplay 2
    CHAPTER The Screenplay 2 A screenplay is the literary expression of the story, characters, actions, locations, and tone of your fi lm written in a specialized dramatic script format. Whether you write the script yourself or work with someone else’s material, it’s important to remember that the screenplay is not the fi nal product. It is an intermediate step in the production of a fi lm and serves many functions in all stages of the project’s development. It is often said that the screenplay is the blueprint for the entire process of making a fi lm, in the same way that a rendering of a house serves as the blueprint for the construction of a house. In many ways this is true; however, unlike an architectural blueprint, a screenplay should remain a rather more fl exible document throughout the process. It’s important to keep in mind that screenplays evolve. They should be revised and rewritten, at every stage of a fi lm’s pro- gression, as new ideas or circumstances emerge. ■ STAGES OF SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT There are a number of stages in the evolution of a screenplay, and each stage usually requires various drafts. Each stage has a specifi c purpose as you proceed, step-by-step, from a general outline of your story to a script that contains the full dimensions of your fi lm, including locations, actions, dialogue, sounds, movements, etc. This process of working and reworking your fi lm’s story material, adding, cutting, or refi ning details along the way, is called script development.

  • The Director's Method in Contemporary Visual Effects Film
    The Director’s Method in Contemporary Visual Effects Film: The Influence of Digital Effects on Film Directing Gianluca Balla PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television September 2016 Abstract The director’ s method – meant as the organisation of the filmmaking process – is usually characterised by common procedures such as work on the script, shot design and the actors’ performance. For films involving a large-scale use of digital effects, directors consistently approach such procedures with a particular attitude dictated by the digital pipeline, the step-by- step technical procedure through which computer-generated images are created. In light of this, the use of digital effects might influence the director’s method. This thesis aims to define what is considered to be a consensual methodological approach to direct films with no or few digital effects and then compares this approach to when such effects are conspicuously involved. This analysis is conducted through interviews with working directors, visual effects companies and practitioners, and integrated with the current literature. The frame of the research is represented by a large spectrum of contemporary films produced in western countries and which involve digital effects at different scales and complexity but always in interaction with live-action. The research focuses on commercial films and excludes computer-animated and experimental films. The research is intended to address an area in production studies which is overlooked. In fact, although the existent literature examines both digital effects and film directing as distinct elements, there is to date no detailed analysis on the influence that the former has on the latter.
