First Workshop with Eric Rogers

CCES students and teachers attended the first workshop today at the Fine Arts Center. With Eric's direction they shot a series of short film clips. Although it took only about 15 minutes to shoot, each of these versions took about an hour and a half to edit. That’s a pretty typical ratio so keep that in mind when you begin your projects.

Eric set up this workshop to demonstrate that the story should be told through the filmmaking, more so than through the acting. This includes the lighting, position of the camera, order of the shots, pacing of the shots, the sound effects, music, etc.

Eric edited two version of the video, one for comedy and the other for suspense.
