Creative Lighting and Camera Techniques for Filmmakers
Cameras and lighting have evolved rapidly in the digital era, but the art of lighting continues to be an essential component of cinematography. Today’s elite cameras are capable of capturing images in extremely low light.
LED lighting fixtures can be controlled remotely, change colors very quickly, generate less heat on set and use very little power. These are incredible tools to facilitate telling stories and creating mood in a business where time management and efficiency have never been more important.
Patience for lighting time has evaporated with the advent of digital formats, so adapting to a faster pace of working has become crucial to a cinematographer’s job performance.
This class will cover the creative relationship between camera and lighting in current filmmaking environments. The instructor will utilize ARRI ALEXA 35 and for lighting ARRI Orbiter and Skypanels.
