So what is Visual Structure?
Just as a writer is concerned with story structure, a moviemaker must be concerned with visual structure. Visual structure is the only "language" available to directors, cinematographers and production designers yet it is often misused or simply ignored.
The key to using visual structure is an understanding of the basic visual components: space, line, shape, color, tone, movement, and rhythm. Using these basic visual components, you can control an audience's emotions and create a unique visual style for your production. But the most critical and difficult part of using visual structure is relating it to the story.
This seminar uses hundred of visual examples from movies. The principles discussed can be used in live-action or animation for any format including motion pictures, television, or computers. The seminar is designed for producers, writers, directors, concept & storyboard artists, cinematographers, lighters and visual design teams.
The seminar relates all of the visual concepts to practical production and bridges the gap between theory and practice.
