Constructing a compelling narrative in cinema is reliant on many factors. Editing, dramatic arc, and the use of cinematic space all play an important role in a film's cinematic structure. By drawing on examples of historical and contemporary cinema, this class analyzes the patterns frequently used to create this visual structure and examines how these techniques can heighten meaning and tell a story to its greatest effect. Topics discussed include parallel action, slow disclosure, and moving versus static camera. Explore how the director uses these tools to convey a story visually.
