Showing the Story

Movies are just that – MOVIES! Action speaks louder than words. People often say one thing yet do another.

Action can be achieved by the camera as well as the performer. Think about how Hamlet, all alone, contemplating life and death, would be recorded. What would the player do? What would the camera do? How can a movie show the thoughts of a character? What if the only camera you had available was the one on your phone?

Look at movies, television, magazines, and comic books. Visit art galleries! Challenge yourself to communicate with moving images.
