The Art of Multi-Camera Directing

Date: 12th - 16th October 2020 
Location: City of Glasgow College, 190 Cathedral Street, Glasgow G4 0RF

Description
Designed to develop the skills of potential studio or Outside Broadcast directors

Course Content
A multi-camera director needs the ability to interpret a script creatively and construct action and story sequences whilst manipulating images from several cameras simultaneously.  Be it a simple interview or the excitement of a rock band.  In addition, a multi-camera director must have the presence and personality to be able to lead a studio crew.

On this practical course, delivered in partnership with Glasgow College, students will be introduced to the principles of multi-camera directing by undertaking exercises including how to direct music. Students will also experience the roles of vision mixing, floor managing and operating studio cameras.

The course is led by David G. Croft, an award-winning television director who has directed some of the best-known entertainment and music programmes of the last three decades. At the BBC he directed a wide range of Arts & Entertainment programmes and specialised in directing major rock events including Live Aid, which won a BAFTA. Among his freelance credits are Crystal Maze, Top of the Pops and Shooting Stars.
