On a fast-paced set, creative decisions need to be executed with speed and precision. The Cinematographer needs to communicate and translate the director’s vision under extreme time restraints. The cinematography workshop will offer participants the opportunity to ask burning questions which never get asked on a fast-paced set. From lighting, to camera, to blocking, seasoned cinematographers will demonstrate camera and lighting scenarios in real time. As the audience gets to witness the execution of the filmmaking process, the cinematographers will illustrate step by step on their creative decisions about lighting and composition. Participants will receive invaluable information that they can directly apply to their own films.
