Today’s Plan:
- Opening/Establishing Shot
- Schedule
Opening/Establishing Shot
I am not a film director. But I do not that film directors spend a lot of time thinking about the opening shot of a film. I’ve been teaching this class for about seven years now and, perhaps more than anything else, thinking about opening/establishing shots might be one of the biggest impacts the class has had on me.
Let’s turn to Kelsa Davis’ article on “How to Create a Powerful Opening Shot.”
Schedule
A reminder that Worklist #3 is due on Wednesday. I’ve included a list of criteria for the project in Canvas.
Monday will be a work day. I’ll show you how to find some “copyleft” music, include it in Rush, and put a fade on it.
