Learn how to engage your audience by telling the story subjectively, thorough the eyes of your main character.

I’m Piotr Złotorowicz, and I’m best known as a director and screenwriter, but I still remember the times when I was my own cinematographer. Since I went to Polish National Film School, I had the pleasure of working with many Directors of photography. The best ones use the camera mainly to mimic the perception of the main hero. You can recognize an excellent Cinematographer by his thought process.

In this inspiring 30-minute class, I’m going to walk you through the creative process of how to be intentional with your camera. How to quickly find the perspective of your main hero, so you can engage your audiences emotionally.

Key lessons include:

Characteristics of an excellent DOP
3 techniques of telling the story through your character
Simple tools to find visual metaphors
Questions you need to ask the director

No need for fancy equipment, technical know-how or a large film crew; I’ll give you the knowledge that will allow you to walk onto a set and bring the scene to life in a most compelling way possible.

By the end of this class, you’ll have the confidence and inspiration to film your own story like a pro!
