Course Code
Academic Year
Building on the technical aspects of Cinematography 1, this course continues to develop the student's technical control of the medium while placing emphasis the creative application of cinematography to their various projects. Working from their own scripts and visual treatments, students develop lighting plans, and build lighting strategies for scenes both on location and in the studio. Further lighting and camera control in both exteriors and interiors is practiced. Selection of film stock, lenses, exposure and lighting gear is made based on the emotional, intellectual or practical needs of the project.
Blocking for both stationary and moving camera choreography are integrated into the film projects. The interrelationship between the cinematographer and the lab is further emphasized with an exploration of film emulsions and the film development and transfer process.
