Film

"A
films form involves more than figuring out where to put the camera
and what lens to use before shooting. It means articulating a clear
and provocative purpose for telling the tale."
Directing: film techniques and aesthetics
Michael Rabiger, ©1997, Focal Press
The hope is to dissolve the artificial barriers
between the aesthetic and technical. Through the investigation of scripts,
stories and film ; preparing for rehearsals - blocking and staging a
scene ; working with the actors and production crew. Aesthetics in film
and television is designed to give the television artist insight into
the creative process required to direct performance.
