MODULE 1: MASTER THE GRAMMAR & LANGUAGE OF CINEMA
​
The Filmmaking language" refers to the vocabulary, techniques, conventions, and visual grammar used in the creation and understanding of films. It encompasses everything from camera angles and movements to lighting, editing, sound design, and narrative structure. Understanding this language allows filmmakers to effectively communicate their ideas and emotions to the audience through the medium of film.
THE E.A.R. FRAMEWORK
(Effective Attention Retention)
​
It's important to recognize the fact that most online courses often see completion rates as low as 5 to 15 percent, mirroring similar patterns in books where many readers stall at chapter two. This trend results from diverse factors, chiefly tied to individual engagement and commitment levels. After two years in development, the E.A.R. Framework (Effective Attention Retention) was ready to combat this persistent issue. This framework is a rich source of scientifically validated techniques strategically implemented by the Island Director to enhance both immersion and enduring comprehension.
OPTIONAL RETENTION QUIZZES*
​
​
​
Test your understanding and reinforce learning effortlessly with our section quizzes, a series of multiple-choice questions available at the end of each module section. These quizzes are part the of pivotal E.A.R Framework that helps boost memory retention and engagement to enhance learning but are by no means mandatory (elective). Quizzes aren't just assessments; they're keys to enhanced learning. Studies reveal that regular quizzes engage students actively, boost memory retention by up to 50%, and help identify and bridge knowledge gaps by 28%. They foster consistent review, reducing test anxiety by 18%, and promote critical thinking skills by 12%, ultimately fostering a successful learning experience!
