ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

CHOICES
Visualizing a narrative

The Production Design workshop with Laurence Bennett will focus on a diversity of topics of the craft. You will have the chance of not only receive this knowledge from Laurence Bennett, but also interact in a very strong way, as the group will have up to 25 participants, making it extremely practical and interactive. You will also have the opportunity to assess the issues you encountered on your films, and receiving the feedback to unblock situations in the future. Participants will learn what makes a strong visual, and what to expect when working as a Production Designer.

Every project is unique. How to approach its design is the most critical, and often most difficult, decision. Seldom discovered easily or quickly, finding the key–the way into the design of a film–is essential. That essential key can inform and shape every choice, every decision throughout the art direction process.

The workshop will explore approaches to finding the essential ideas, emotions, concepts and imagery that can shape the design of a film:

Finding the visual arcs within the story
Identifying thematic elements
Emotional tones
Subjective vs objective
Underscoring vs contrasting
Research
Developing and presenting ideas

Working with the script for a short film, participants will begin this discovery process, putting together a brief presentation of how the visual arc of the film will reflect, support and enrich the narrative.
Individual counseling available as time permits.
A group review/discussion will wrap up the session.
