There can be thousands of directorial techniques for one story. Film directors gradually establish their own style through accumulation of works. However, as a film apprentice, how can one find one's own style?
Through a deep analysis on different directors each class, the course covers dialogue, shots, actors, scene scheduling, narrative style, and other aspects, from documentaries to feature films, from simple to in-depth understanding of directing work and different film directing techniques. Students will have the opportunity to rediscover different perspectives and practice their own directing style.
