SEPTEMBER UPCOMING EVENTS
•
DGA Director Development Initiative presents a Craft Workshop:
Blocking and Shot Listing
Blocking and shot listing are foundational skills for Directors and serve as key tools
to help best prepare for time on set. Having a comprehensive shot list and a plan for
blocking can help you work more efficiently and can assist in communicating with
all members of production, collaborating effectively with your actors, and overall,
executing your creative vision.
This in-person workshop will be an interactive learning session where presenters will
model different approaches to blocking and shot listing to aid attendees in preparing
for their next episodic directing assignment.
The DDI Labs focus on education and career development for members interested in episodic television and is designed to provide
current information on the Director's craft delivered by experienced Episodic Television Directors.
Panelists will be listed on www.dga.org closer to the date of this event.
Thursday, September 25
