Shifting Your Approach to Filmmaking

In this tutorial, The Muse Team introduces the Muse Process, a method for developing storytelling in filmmaking through a shift in mindset and intentional decision-making. The team explains how their approach differs from the standard "tripod" or "go and get it" approaches, which rely on luck and lack intentional storytelling. Instead, the Muse Process focuses on developing the four pillars of storytelling - People, Places, Plot, and Purpose - and breaking them down into three creative milestones before moving into production.
