Better Call Saul: Filmmaker Training

Gus Fring, Mike Ehrmantraut, Kim Wexler and Saul's film crew share tips for how to excel in a variety of professions.
Safety
S1 E1

One must never eat around the camera or Saul Goodman's film crew will Goodwill Hunt-one-down; basic safety measures must be taken to keep the film equipment in pristine condition, or one will face Marshall's wrath.

Set Life
S1 E2

Learning on-set lingo, including best boy, dead cat and going 10-2; Saul Goodman's film crew runs through basic film shoot etiquette and best practices to avoid embarrassing oneself on set.

Visual Storytelling
S1 E3

Ways to frame up a shot include the Dutch Angle, the French Over and the Swingle; Saul's film crew covers all the angles and more.

Working With Actors
S1 E4

A collaborative relationship with one's actors is very important; there's a big difference between "Dance, meat puppet!" vs. "Could we try a slight alt?," so a little nuance and politeness should be used.

Editing
S1 E5

Editing is everything; hard cuts, fade outs and dissolves are great, but a star wipe could really cheapen the picture, and one should never forget the power of montage; Saul's film crew welcomes Kim Wexler to explain.
