Proferes teaches directing as systematically visualizing the narrative in dramatic blocks and camera positions. The method turns text into a concrete staging plan.
Film directing fundamentals
3 ideas
Beats, objectives, and blocking

Shot size, angle, and movement convey meaning rather than merely recording action. Where the camera stands is itself a narrative choice.
