Beginners Guide to Improvisation Hollywood Film Directing

Improvisation is a form of performance in which the players have no script. Free of conventional methods and constraints, improv gives filmmakers and actors complete freedom to explore characters and relationships in depth and capture genuine authenticity on camera. It allows you to speed up production, make more films, and ultimately save time and money by working efficiently at all stages of the production process.

Suitable for aspiring filmmakers or more experienced artists looking for a new approach to film, the Beginners Guide to Improvisation Hollywood Film Directing will inspire you through the creative freedom improvisation fosters, and how putting away the script can lead to new discoveries, making your own work, behind and in front of the camera, fresh and exciting.

We’ll completely breakdown our second improvised feature film In Corpore, filmed in four countries, and demonstrate how we applied each lesson we teach through practical examples.

Plus we’ll take you through the steps for creating your own characters and conflict, allowing you to draft a scenario that is ready to film and turn into a micro-short so you can immediately practise working with improv.

Also included in this course is a tonne of supplementary material, from our story outlines and breakdowns to rehearsal notes and character drafts, so you can see exactly how we put together an improvised feature film.
