Coffee & Content: CODA Script Breakdown & DRIVE Cinematographer on Visual Storytelling

Happy Sunday Creative Army!

First of all, congratulations to all of you who have already participated in our monthly Introduce Yourself Weekend! Thousands of connections have been made between entertainment creatives and professionals from every corner of the globe. Whether you are a long-time member, or brand new to Stage 32, take a moment to pop over to the Introduce Yourself Lounge and say hello before the end of the weekend. Now, grab some fresh coffee and let's dive into this week's content.

First up, our friends over at StudioBinder have a great video featuring interviews with cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel (Drive, Bohemian Rhapsody, X-Men: Apocalypse). In this video, Newton discusses visual storytelling and how he uses lenses, aspect ratios, and camera movements to tell story. You will see examples from Dog, Cherry, Three Kings, and more. 

Next up, the Writers Guild Foundation has an amazing video with CODA writer/director Siân Heder. In this video, Siân and two WGF librarians breakdown the CODA script - specifically highlighting how she translated dialogue to American Sign Language on screen and what the translation process was like on the page. 

As always here at Stage 32, we love to share stories and knowledge with our fellow film fans. Know someone who would love this content? Share it with them! Tag them below!
