There are so many aspects that make a scene work. Acting, directing, camerawork, sound, set design, editing, themes, tone, pacing, the list is nearly endless. This seminar is geared to take scenes and break them down into their component parts so we can learn from them. Why does this scene work so well? What is it about this scene that makes you feel something? Or conversely, why doesn't this scene work? What happened that made this scene fail. This will be a highly subjective seminar, that will be very opinion driven. However, this is also a discussion. I am not the authority on film theory. Your voice and opinions are also welcome.

For the first Frame by Frame I will breakdown a scene from There Will be Blood. I am still working on it so there will be more info here soon!
