The success of Steven Spielberg`s films changed the global standard for professional directing. It is now essential for a director to be well-versed at shooting with a moving camera as a well as a gifted director of action sequences. This three-session seminar brings you up to this standard by teaching you how and when to move the camera for the greatest effect, when to keep the camera stationary, and how to use lenses and strategic camera placement to shoot action sequences.
Gil Bettman is a director and a professor at Chapman University. He has directed three feature films (Crystal Heart, Never Too Young to Die, and Night Vision); multiple episodes of the television series The Fall Guy and Knight Rider; and numerous rock music videos. He is the author of First Time Director.
"Gil Bettman lucidly sets down the ABC`s of directing so that dedicated students can learn exactly what will be required of them when they step onto a set."
