Leading Lines

Marcus — Fri, 06 May 2011 21:51:15 +0000

An outtake from Film Schooled Episode 1, teen producer Brandon Burns explains leading lines to the audience.

Leading lines are used to help direct the audience’s attention. Use them so the audience doesn’t miss anything. In addition to leading lines, also use light, motion, position, and depth of field to direct the audience’s attention. Can you think of any other techniques?

What do you need to learn more about?

Tell us what aspect of filmmaking you need to learn more about, and we’ll try to cover the topic in an upcoming episode. It can be anything from pre-production through post-production.

Do your shots seem boring? Do you miss important shots? Do you know how to hook the audience? Do you know how to make your cuts less apparent in order to retain the suspension of disbelief?

Simply comment below or tell us on the Film Schooled Facebook page. Do it now before you forget.

Are you creative? Do you enjoy making short films with your friends and family? Have you always wanted to make a film, but you never got started?

Does that sound like you?

We’re on the lookout for another Cincinnati area teen who wants to make their film reality come true, over one weekend, with the help of an experienced independent filmmaker, and a $150 budget.

The weekend for episode 1 will be:
Friday, March 25th through Sunday, March 27th, 2011
or
Friday April 8th through Sunday, April 10th, 2011

We start Friday evening, after school and work, ideally around 5 PM, and wrap up by Sunday evening before bedtime, ideally by 8 PM.

You must be at least 16 years old, have a parent or legal guardian as a chaperon, have at least three friends or family on your crew (not including yourself) who are at least 16, and have your own camera (can be your iPhone, or anything that shoots full video and sound).

Get your parent’s permission, line up your crew, and email the producer today:
