PART ONE (Morning):
MASTERING FILM GRAMMAR
A departure from previous No Budget Film School courses that have concentrated solely on no-budget production, "Mastering Film Grammar" is an intensive and highly entertaining exploration of screen art form. The kind of instruction usually found only in expensive film schools, these tenets of film language are some of the most cost-effective ways to improve the quality of a production no matter what the budget. Whether you're spending $100 million or $100, you're going to be pointing your camera at something. This course teaches you how to get the most out of what you shoot, independent of budget.

"Mastering Film Grammar" covers the specific strengths of the motion picture medium. Framing, moving, editing and lighting the image, depth of field, POV, score and source music, sound effects: these are the elements of the language of cinema, and we as filmmakers make creative decisions based on these elements no matter the budget of our projects. Instructor Tom Provost explores classical film grammar, examining how to use it properly and then how it can be twisted to great effect. The course also covers specific examples of how to use Frame, Light, Shadow, Color, Sound, and Editing, with over 100 clips and screen shots from various movies to illustrate and illuminate.


PART TWO (Afternoon):
FROM SCRIPT TO SCREEN
Anatomy of the entire filmmaking process, using The Presence, starring Mira Sorvino
Writer/Director Provost discusses the process of traveling from script to final edited product of his new feature The Presence, which stars Oscar Winner Mira Sorvino, Golden Globe Nominee Justin Kirk and Shane West. This will be a candid, insightful dissection of the filmmaking process, examining a just-completed feature that will not be released until 2011. Students will read the first act of the screenplay as homework before attending the class, and then watch the complete film in the afternoon. Following the screening, Provost will cover extensively how he and his creative team worked to bring what was on paper to life, given the typical compromises and considerations of budget, time, personnel issues, weather, and planning. Particular focus will be placed on what "went wrong" as well as what changed from the script and why. The discussion will also include the "writing" that went on in the editing room as the film took shape and became something apart from the shooting script. Specific clips and production stills will be used to illustrate the various decisions made on the set and after.

"From Script To Screen" is an extremely frank and revealing discussion about the realities every filmmaker faces whatever the budget, offering filmmakers a rare insider's look at just how a movie comes to fruition. Students will have the opportunity to see the film months before it opens to the general public and have an open forum with the filmmaker regarding their thoughts on the movie.

TOM PROVOST BIOGRAPHY:
Tom Provost has enjoyed a varied and successful career in the entertainment industry as an author, screenwriter, editor, director, producer, actor, and instructor.  Before graduating from The University of Texas in Austin's prestigious Plan II honors program with an emphasis in film, he wrote and directed several shorts and authored a published thesis on director Alfred Hitchcock.  He then moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. After landing several parts in film and TV, including a recurring role on Steven Spielberg's SeaQuest DSV, Provost took up editing, learning the Avid system just as non-linear editing was beginning to make its way on the scene.  After editing short films and a couple of features, he worked for several years cutting  and producing award winning promos for the WB and Bravo Television Networks.

During this time he was hired to adapt a script for Morgan Freeman's production company, Revelations, a screenplay eventually made into the film Under Suspicion starring Freeman and Gene Hackman, directed by Stephen Hopkins. The screenplay was nominated for an Edgar Award.  This lead to work as a script doctor, where his ability to shape story has been highly prized. Long in development, Provost's feature directorial debut The Presence, (www.thepresencemovie.com), which he also wrote, was recently completed and is set for release in early 2011.  The inventive ghost story/modern-day gothic romance stars Academy Award-winning actress Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite), Shane West (ER), Golden Globe Nominee Justin Kirk (Weeds), and Tony Curan (Pearl Harbor, Gladiator).  In addition to directing commercials and editing reality TV (The Bachelor, The Apprentice [Emmy nominated], and several others), Provost has been a popular film instructor at a variety of venues all over the country for many years.
