Seminar Info

There are so many aspects that make a scene work; script, acting, directing, camerawork, sound, set design, editing, themes, tone, pacing, the list is nearly endless. This seminar is geared to take sections of film and tv and break them down into their component parts so we can learn from them. Why does this scene work so well? What is it about this scene that makes you feel something? Or conversely, why doesn't this scene work? What happened that made this scene fail. This will be a highly subjective seminar, that will be very opinion driven. However, this is also a discussion. I am not the authority on film theory. Your voice and opinions are also welcome.

In this Frame by Frame we will breakdown Parasite by Bong Joon Ho). This movie is an absolute masterclass in building suspense, using visual language to tell your story, and exploring themes of class without resorting to worn out tropes. I will show a synopsis of the movie before we start, but as the themes are deeply embedded in the movie it will be much better for the discussion if you have watched the movie, and preferably somewhat recently. However, even if you haven't seen it, it will still be very interesting and fun.

This event will be held in person at Space Meduza, 80 Skalitzerstr. Berlin 10997 in the third room, all the way at the back.
