FILM 450: Cinematography

In this course, students visually translate narrative scripts into meaningful and engaging imagery for cinema. Each week, students will visualize, block and shoot short sequences. Skills-building instruction will include the use of waveform monitors, light meters, cameras, optics, grip equipment, dollies, electricity, and lighting instruments. This class is a hands-on and experiential class with an emphasis on the cinematographer's practical and aesthetic visual choices.
