Digital Cinematography

This course combines traditional filmmaking’s artistic concepts with the technological tools used in independent news-gathering and documentary filmmaking to commercial production and web content.

Courses Include: 

Screenwriting

Character Creation: Create well-developed characters whose motives and actions are organic to the plot, relevant to the story’s thematic intentions, and a delight for actors and audiences alike.

Story Structure: Learn the framework of compelling storytelling. Explore plot and character arcs and how to weave them together into a cohesive narrative.

Digital Cinematography

It teaches students lighting, film history, film editing, and the use of camera equipment, all of which are integral to a cinematographer’s career. We will discuss the cinema language, visual storytelling, camera techniques, composition, and creation of a scene.

Directing 

Students learn techniques for directing, acting, casting, and composition and will work in different directing areas – from preproduction to postproduction delivery to critical evaluation. 

Film Analysis 

Students gain an appreciation for how filmmakers create meaningful experiences for their audiences while also developing skills to critique others’ work and manage critiques from clients. 

Art Design & Location Shooting 

Students look at set choices and production venues through the camera’s logistical needs while focusing on the decision-making process to align a script with location scouting and art direction.
