Good coverage of the basics of directing for the camera with a good classroom analysis and discussion from an actual scene. I am looking forward to using this same practice to analyze some of my favorite scenes in the future.

A good course that introduces the groundwork for any film. I was there more modules than what was presented though. A little more detail on how the each stage of directing works.

This is a great introductory course, but the excitement really starts in the final module so I think it's safe to say a Part 2 would be phenomenal. Would only suggest this for beginners though because the first few modules are definitions of Directing & Filmmaking terms which - though useful - isn't necessarily for the more experienced Director. I learned a lot but want more fleshing out and real-life [well... real-movie] scene examples.
