FEATURED POSTS... Blocking a Scene When I was a Second AD (many, many years ago) I learned a valuable lesson from a dolly grip on how a film set works. Very simply, every film shoot is divided into four parts: 1) Block - determining where the actors will be on the set and the first camera position. 2) Light - time for the DOP to light the set and position the camera for the first shot... Directing An Audition Auditions are all about hope. The director (normally the casting director, in bigger budget films) hopes that the next actor that walks through the door is The One. After months of fruitless searching, if you look carefully, you may even see some form of prayer in their eyes. Nothing is more of a relief than finally finding that perfect actor for the perfect role... CloseUp: Skye Borgman Skye received her M.F.A. in film production from the University of Southern California and her B.F.A. from Cornish College of the Arts in 1994. She spent the majority of her 20's traveling the world. Living in Bulgaria, Korea, Japan, Indonesia and China and traveling to over 60 different countries... The Importance of Camera Movment A man sits in a booth in a pizza parlor, eating a slice. His friend enters and joins him at the booth, where they have a brief conversation about their old rivalry. Simple scene. The question I pose is: How do you direct it? The Modern Auteur What the heck is an auteur? The term is thrown around a lot in film school classrooms, film buff discussions, and art house movie reviews. Don't feel dumb if you don't quite know what it is. Most people that use the word regularly don't exactly know, either... PROMOTE YOURSELF... IFLA is about sharing experiences and opportunities in the independent film scene of the Los Angeles area.
