In this in-depth exploration of film directing, we focus on the director's role in visual design - composing shots, choosing lenses, orchestrating movement and the overall pictorial "signature" of the film. It's the reason why every Kubrick or Cassavetes film feels singularly "theirs".
From the most expressionistic to the most naturalistic, this 2-hour deep dive class will delve into the myriad of visual decisions that encompass the director's role in crafting the image.
This class will be taught by director-writer Jack Perez, a professor of film at USC, PCC, CCC, The NY Film Academy, and The Academy of Art in SF. He is also the creator of the popular YouTube Premium Channel, CINEFIX. Jack currently lives in Portland with his wife and 4 cats.
Class will be held in room LH115 in Lincoln Hall, at 1620 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97201 on the Portland State University Campus.
