95. Camera & Film Terminology for Dancers & Choreographers
from Words That Move Me with Dana Wilson · host Dana Wilson
This episode is NOT an A-Z glossary of camera and film terminology. It IS a deep dive into why “film speak” is important for dancers and choreographers… and also why it is a total set up. Yes, I’ll demystify a few of the basic terms and technicalities, but I also dish out some of my favorite resources for a deeper dive on jargon, and I zoom in on (sorry, couldn’t help it) a few simple cues you can take from the camera to better craft your performance on screen.Show Notes:Every Frame a Painting: https://www.youtube.com/c/everyframeapaintingTeam DeakinsPodcast: https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/Protecting the frame Podcast: https://www.protectingtheframe.com/100 ideas that changed film: https://www.laurenceking.com/product/100-ideas-that-changed-film-2/30 second film photography:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25026033-30-second-photography For more DANA For coaching with me, join the WTMM COMMUNITY To donate to WTMM through our Fiscal Sponsor, THE DANCE RESOURCE CENTER To shop for GOODIES & SERVIES Watch and Subscribe on YOUTUBE Stay connected with us on IG and TikTok View Full Episode Transcript
