Visualize narrative into film form under the eye of renowned cinematographers and filmmakers. The cinematography workshop covers visual form creation, film location analysis, shooting scenes, script interpretation, storyboarding, and color grading process.
Each participant will be given the opportunity to work individually with the camera, enabling to produce short material for his/her own portfolio. Teachers (DOPs) guarantee individual consultations of your work during each class.
We will work for 7-days on film locations with camera and lighting departments, with actors on film scenes to visualize our ideas, as to undergo color grading in the last day of the course.
