Advanced Digital Cinematography

Digital video is rapidly becoming the preferred format for commercial, film, television, and music video productions. Through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, students learn how to shoot “cine-style” in HD using a 35mm adapter and lenses, blending traditional filmmaking techniques with digital cinematography. Students will learn about visual perception, optics, depth-of-field, exposure meters, dynamic range and the zone system, formats, frame rates, shutter speeds and angles, camera menus, HD workflow, camera assistant, waveform monitors, color temperature, green screen shooting, and location lighting. Also discussed is the role of the cinematographer, proper set eitquette, script interpretation, scene coverage, and camera movement.

This class is for film cinematographers who want to make the transition to digital video and filmmakers with digital video experience who are ready to improve, refine and strengthen their techniques in digital cinematography.
