practical examples, fun stories (sometimes terrifying), and easy-to-understand

introductions to basic photography techniques that will help to form an

essential knowledge base for any professional in the motion-picture

industry.

Taking inspiration from great works

and through practical presentations, the goal is to develop an understanding

and appreciation for The 8 Cs of

Cinematography:

1.

 Cameras:  3D, HD, 1080, 4K, 8K!? What do

you need?

2.

 Compositon:  Lens length, depth of field,

camera height and angle, balance of light and dark äóî how do you choose what’s

best for your scene?

3.

 Color:  How can color influence mood,

performance, and overall story?

4.

 Convention:  Establishing shots, inserts,

mise en scíÂne – knowing the language of cinema.

5.  Continuity /

Cutting:  Ensuring that your individual shots will edit

together

6.

 Choreography:  Movement of actors and

elements within the frame, and moving the frame itself.

7.

 Completion:  Postproduction and color

grading.

8.  CGI:

 How do effects affect your project?

If you have a desire to better

understand what a cinematographer does, how it is accomplished – and, most

importantly, why – now is your chance to increase your storytelling abilities

in this information packed workshop.

By

the end of this workshop, you will:

–  Achieve a better

understanding of how images can impact a viewer through

artistic choices including framing, focus, light, color, and

movement.

–  Appreciate the

technical demands and constraints faced by

cinematographers.

–  Develop a basic

understanding of how to technically control an

image.

create more compelling images that serve your movie’s

story.

networking event to meet other industry professionals!
