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.

For the first Frame by Frame we will breakdown The Bear - Season2, Episode 7: Forks. I absolutely LOVED this episode. It is one of my favorite episodes of any tv show I have watched. It is an absolute masterclass in a character redemption arc. As the emotional beats of this episode rely on the episodes that came before, you need to have watched The Bear through this episode at a minimum to have this breakdown make sense.

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