Cinematography
Course One The Cinematographer works closely with the Director to capture the essence of the story through the lens as he/she artistically lights the actors and their world creating a captivating visual story for the audience. Being a Cinematographer takes a true artistic craftsperson. A Cinematographer must have creative insight as well as the skills necessary to both interpret the Director’s vision, and communicate the Cinematographer’s approach to realizing this vision to the technical crews of the camera, lighting and grip departments.  In Course one of the Cinematographer series, we will help you realize these artistic and creative skills. Focusing on the fundamentals of lighting and framing theory, we will explore creative scene set ups with a basic camera, lighting, and grip equipment package.

Time will be spent with instruction on proper use and safety of all equipment, and in discussions of each set up and the choices made while viewing the result of our work with the on set monitor.
