Directing Workshop with Jonathan Brough
Following on from the successful directing workshops with Jonathan Brough in Dunedin and Christchurch, SDGNZ presents a full day workshop with Jonathan in Wellington on the 6 June 2009.
Using the scene as the basic building block, the workshop will explore the fundamentals of making memorable and resonant film or TV - what to tell the actors, and where to put the camera. Through the exploration of scene focus, through-lines, physical blocking and the wants and needs of the characters, we will explore the different ways a scene can be shaped and the ramifications of those decisions. Participants will be expected to do some brief preparation for the workshop, and also serve as actors.
Jonathan Brough is a director of film and TV. His television credits include The Insider's Guide to Happiness, The Pretender, Outrageous Fortune, Eating Media Lunch and The Unauthorised History of New Zealand. His short film The Model was officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival and, more recently, his short film No Ordinary Sun was awarded 'Best Short Film' at the 2005 Auckland Film Festival.
