Week 1: Story Structure and Screenwriting
All great movies start with a great story. This week we're exploring the building blocks behind what makes a great story through a selection of films which either exemplify the classic Hollywood structure or remix it in an innovative way. Visit the Hulu Summer Film School blog to learn more about our selections, read about the role of the Three-Act Structure in “Ghostbusters,” Learn how you can apply these principles to your own works!
Part master technician, part creative visionary, the cinematographer is the chief constructor of the film’s visual style. This week we're exploring the cinematographer’s ability to not only influence what we see, but how we see it. Visit the Hulu Summer Film School blog to learn about our favorite scenes from each of this week's films, read about the different types of camera shots in Jiro Dreams of Sushi, and view our content from last week’s lesson on Screenwriting.
Through their use of light and color, a filmmaker can set the mood, bring the viewer into the film’s world, and weave an emotional through line into what the character is thinking and feeling. Visit the Hulu Summer Film School blog to learn about each of the featured films, read a guest post from the Criterion Collection about the use of light in “Persona,” and view our content from last week’s lesson on Cinematography.
Through tinkering with the sounds of the film, a composer, foley artist, or music supervisor can make the hairs on our neck stand up at the arrival of a villain or our hearts swell over a first kiss. When these auditory artists pair the right sound with the right scene, it’s a moment of pure movie magic. Visit the Hulu Summer Film School blog to learn about each of the featured films, read about the soundtrack in "A Hard Day’s Night," and view an archive of our previous lessons.
Wow! I think this is a really cool thing Hulu is doing! Sometimes it's tough to find reliable, well-organized help for film making and other artistic pursuits, so this is awesome!

The editors are the unsung heroes of the production. As the last shepherds of the film, they reorder, splice, and shape the raw footage to breathe mood, tension, and structure into the film. Under the guardianship of a great editor, no frame goes unexamined and no contribution—whether it be in acting or cinematography—goes underappreciated.
