Blocking and Lighting: Breaking Down Semi-Pro puts you in the mind of a cinematographer blocking and lighting a Will Ferrel comedy. Using the classic basketball comedy flick Semi-Pro as a case study, Shane Hurlbut, ASC shows you how to block, light, and film with lots of movement, action, and multiple camera angles.
Beginning with the script, you’ll learn how to consider a location and pre-visualize your blocking strategy. If you’ve ever walked on set and struggled with determining your wide shot, or simply need to start with the 180-Degree Rule, this is the course for you.
It’s very difficult to learn about the blocking and lighting process online, but fortunately, this course presents you with the rules for rehearsal and how to rehearse, mark, block, light, and ultimately shoot.
