Working with David (Miss Cohen’s talented cousin); The VoiceOver Master

Today in class, Miss Cohen filled us in our her filmmaking course that she went on yesterday and we talked about the 3 S’s and the 3 C’s of creating movies; Sound, setting, story and character, colour and camera.

David has had years of acting experience, and helped us to learn about how to control and use our bodies to really change the tone and scale of our projections. Here’s some examples of what we did this morning;
