Cinematography 101

This course introduces video scene setups and digital photography. Students will explore the importance of camera angles, shot sizes, and movements while grasping the basics of Go-Pros®, gimbals, and DJI drones. Students will discover the aesthetics of visual arts by telling a story through still-image and short clips. Participants create a non-narrative digital portfolio by learning key cinematography concepts, including composition, lighting, color, and framing. We will provide digital cameras and all equipment for class use. Students must bring an 8GB or higher USB flash drive on the last day.
