    Description
    On a film set, the Cinematographer is the person who fulfills the Director's vision by setting the shots and lighting the scene. How this is achieved is part art, part craft and part science. This course will introduce students to the fundamental elements of Cinematography. The exploration of how motion picture and video cameras work will be accompanied by understanding how motion picture cameras, lenses and lighting transcend being tools into being a collaborative artistic expression.
