Cinematography

What makes a movie look beautiful? Whether it is the heat of a scorching desert, the chill of a glacial lake, or the grime of a city street, movies look and feel the way they do because of the cinematography. In this course we will work as dedicated digital video cinematographers. In this course we will practice lighting, composition and camera movement, first in a single cinematic shot and then as a sequence of shots cut together. We will apply the work of master cinematographers to our own creative work. Finally, we will assemble into small teams to produce short film projects. (FMMC 0105)
