EDITING  
This episode explores the ways in which editing can be used to reconstruct, rearrange or fragment physical space and sequences of events. This program uses a hallucinatory psychological drama involving an estranged couple, a child and a fiery auto wreck to show how editing is used to compress time, create imaginary spaces and pull the viewer through successive layers of dream and reality. 10 min.

Lighting Dead Poets Society  
28 min. Producer...AFTRS John Seale, ASC, ACS(Rainman, Gorillas in the Mist, Witness) conducts an intensive and inspirational lighting workshop in the studios of the Australian Film, Radio and Television School. The dormitory set from "Dead Poets Society" was painstakingly reconstructed for this workshop. Even more important than the technical knowledge it contains is the insight this program gives into Seale's working philosophy.

Framing 
The positioning of a camera "puts frame around the world" and divides it into off-screen and on-screen space. Thompson shows how the very choice of framing can define relationships, tell a story, create or release tension. He also shows how we can convey information about off-screen space: the world in front of, behind and "all around that world" defined by the frame itself. 10 min.

Lighting Dances with Wolves 
Dean Semler (Road Warrior, City Slickers, Dead Calm) demonstrates the techniques that won him an Academy Award for the cinematography of "Dances with Wolves." Dean's background in documentary films is a major influence on his visuals. This workshop recreates the lighting of an interior fireside scene from "Wolves", using an exact replica of the teepe set. The workshop footage was shot anamorphic, using a Panavision camera and a crane.

Lenses and Perspectives  
In a series of convincing demonstrations, Thompson shows that the position of the viewer or of a camera, is the governing factor in the perception of spatial relationships in the third dimension. He lays to rest the mistaken idea that lens focal length affects the appearance of depth. 9 min.
 

 $99.95

MOVEMENT AND MOVING THE CAMERA 
Thompson examines the way the human eye moves as it interacts with a visual scene and demonstrates how movement of the camera must accommodate but not duplicate the movement of the eye. Three types of movement are analyzed: movement within the frame, movement of the frame and movement of the camera itself. 11 min.

Shooting for Realism 
55 min. Producer...AFTRS Allen Daviau, ASC (E.T., The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun) and Sacha Vierny (Hiroshima mon Amour; The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Prospero's Book) are given the same script and set. Daviau creates a series of intricate setups, clearly explaining each problem he encounters and the solutions he finds by using filters, lights and F-stop changes. Vierny experiments with a simple and elegant camera move that encompasses much of the action but presents him with a new challenge: hiding the dolly track. Computer graphics of the lighting setups as well as side-by-side comparisons of the finished scenes help you to better understand the techniques and appreciate the results.

 $89.95

ORIENTATION OF THE CAMERA  
Thompson shows how we orient ourselves in space by a combination of what we see and other physiological cues. Moving images lack these other cues and so special efforts must be made to provide the viewer with a sense of balance and equilibrium. Thompson shows how moving images can be used to deliberately disturb the physiological equilibrium of the viewer. 11 min.
