And, an analysis of the camera work of the new German film, All Quiet On The Western Front, which won the Oscars for both Art Direction and Cinematography in 2023. I'll examine how the choice of shots influenced and affected the set design.
With 3D model recreations of some of the sets and locations, I'll discuss how physical locations and built sets can sometimes make certain scenes difficult to achieve and how careful pre-planning can avoid problems and frustrations during production.
The course also includes a manual which explains the concepts covered in the course in text and diagrams for reference.
