About

How do you tell a story visually? What makes a film a film, and not TV? We could say a "real" movie is one that's mostly comprehensible with the sound turned off. The London Film School offers the Visual Storytelling - An Introduction For Directors, Writers and Producers programme.

Overview

Careers

But where do we start? In this 2-day workshop, director Josh Appignanesi takes participants shot by shot into the heart of cinema by introducing the following issues:

  • What choices make a shot tell the story your way? How do you use composition, framing, blocking of actors and their position to camera? Background, palette, costume, lenses, light, camera movement?
  • How do you juxtapose this shot with your other shots through editing, to create suspense and involvement?
The London Film School's Visual Storytelling - An Introduction For Directors, Writers and Producers answers these questions.

Programme Structure

  • Though introductory in nature, the workshop would also benefit those with some prior filmmaking experience. Part of the workshop will be dedicated to analysing participants’ own work. Participants are therefore encouraged to bring along an example of their own work - preferably a short film in DVD format with a maximum running time of 10 minutes. Josh will address as many projects as he can within the allotted time.
