In this weekend course, students will develop the skills in telling stories through visual mediums. This course is perfect for both directors and writers who want to expand their skillset.
Intro:
The course will focus on visual storytelling, exploring how to deliver exposition with minimal use of dialogue. Through a combination of music video and cinema references we will examine how thoughtfully considered visuals, through movement, shooting style, symbolism, and performance, can enhance your story cinematically.
Using some examples of his own work with Girl Band, SOAK and others, Bob will explain his approach to narrative driven music video, and visual drama.
