Drawing from Film - Deconstructing Shot Composition


ID : 14545

Join Tad as he uses sketching as a tool to explore cinematography, framing, and composition. During class, we will screen sequences from multiple films, periodically freezing the frame for you to draw what you see within the frame. We will discuss what you discover through rough sketches, including perspective, aspect ratio, movement, lighting, and the placement of the camera and objects within the frame. This unique approach to analyzing the visual language of film is both relaxing and stimulating. No prior drawing experience is necessary.  
Please bring your own sketchbook, 9”x12” or smaller, and preferred sketching tools (pencil, colored pencil, sharpener, erasers, etc.). Bring whatever you are most comfortable using, but please no paint, water color, etc. Just pencils or pens.
