Film Directing: Learn to Stage Stunts in Your Film

One of the key elements of making movies is exciting your audience. Nothing creates a spectacle like stunt scenes. - My name is Piotr. I’m an active film director, educated at Polish National Film School in Łódź. Since I made my first short film back in 2004 I've shot quite a few challenging scenes where my team had to hire a professional stuntman. In this class, I'll show you how to successfully direct scenes with stunts.
This class is a specialized course for someone who wants to expand directing skills. Also, beginning directors will find value in learning the process of preparations when they're about to shoot a technically demanding scene. There are tools that can help you to communicate your ideas with your crew, like storyboards, charts and shot list etc.
This class includes:
How to seamlessly swap the stuntman with the actor without the audience noticing,
Editing tips - create an anticipation of the cut,
Workflow - prepping with your Stunt Coordinator,
Tools to communicate with the crew, like Storyboards,
Rehearsing stunts,
Working with stuntmen on the set - 4 most important advices,
Stunt scenes with one camera,
Multi-camera setup in stunt scenes,
Stunt in a mastershot (one uninterrupted take).
In this course, I’m sharing everything that I found useful about staging potentially dangerous scenes. My goal is to give you the practical advice that you can use on the set of your film. All these concepts are explained as case study of scenes from my movies, or well known films of other directors, like Joker.
