The Second Look is an online film education community designed to help you in whatever area you need, including courses, tutoring, coaching, script coverage, and more.
The Second Look is a different kind of online film school because we focus more on the "why" than the "how."
You can learn the technical aspects of filmmaking anywhere — lighting, camera, editing, etc. There are plenty of fantastic resources for you out there that teach the "how." But learning "why" is equally important, if not more so.
Why did Spielberg use that push-in? Why did Nolan choose to shoot that scene handheld? Why did Tarantino cut to a wide shot here?
Filmmaking is all about CHOICES.
And if you don't know WHY you're making those choices, you won't reach your full potential as a filmmaker.
WHY is the most important question.
The "First Look" is watching a movie for the first time.
You should turn off your brain and enjoy the experience.
.
The "Second Look" is watching a movie again...and again.
You should turn on your brain and think about how that experience was created.
While film school can be expensive, The Second Look is a more affordable way to get the same quality education. You can even choose the courses that align with your personal interests.
If you don't live near a good film school or can't afford to move, The Second Look is great because you have access to it wherever you are.
Don't be an anonymous face in a film school class of 100 students. The Second Look provides access to the instructor and a direct line of communication for any questions you have.
If the "school" part of film school lacks appeal (grades, tests, etc.), The Second Look offers all the educational benefits without the pressure and stress.
Networking and community are integral parts of The Second Look experience. Film school has always been about collaboration and we want to maintain that tradition.
People learn at their own pace, and film school can sometimes be too restrictive. With The Second Look, you’re in control of your education and learning experience to fit how you learn best.
