Course Description

Filmmaking is not all about blasting every film production gear and voila film is ready.

Welcome to this course in Cinematography Analysis and Breakdown of Hollywood Movie Scenes. My name is Isaac Albert, with years of filmmaking experience.

Speaking of Cinematography, there’s more at play. Whoever you may want to be in the industry, or whatever area of filmmaking you’re into; be you a Real Estate Filmmaker, Wedding Filmmaker, Music video Filmmaker, Travel Filmmaker, Documentary Filmmaker, Product Ad Filmmaker, Vlogging filmmaker, Sports Filmmaker, or as in the case of the Hollywood’s, Narrative Filmmaking as a movie producer. Whatever it is you do, know that every creative decision has a consequence on the final film product.

Whatever area of expertise you belong in the creative industry, be you Cinematographer, Gaffer, Audio guy, Director, AD, DP, ADP, Script supervisor Focus Puller, Editor, Trailer Editor, VFX Artist, Colorist, or indie Producer who wears many Hats. and so on.

Whoever you are, whatever role you play. It is essential to know that the final product of filmmaking is influenced by the intentional technical and Logistic decisions and choices made by the industry professionals during the preproduction, production, and postproduction process of the Film.

Technical and Logistic decisions and choices make movie or film production a professional creative venture ruled by a collective intentional choice of the experts in the industry.

Therefore, everything that appears on the screen, has a creative reason and meaning for being there, as they serve the intentional choices made by the experts. The framing size of the film, the shot type, the shot angle, the Lens type, the lighting type, the film format, the composition of the frame, the color tone of the scene, even the set location, and so on serve a purpose. Hollywood, being in the business of emotion, makes these intentional choices to convey the emotional experiences of the players in the screen. Thereby intensifying the emotions of the characters through the careful use of filmmaking elements and techniques so as to trigger an emotional response from the audience.

Everything you do must serve a purpose, they’re not just there just because you want to show off your creative muscle.

That is why I have created this course, to show you how and why creative professionals do what they do in the industry. This is a critical breakdown and analysis of a real Hollywood Movie.
