MS 102 PZ -Cinematography

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course is an introduction to cinematography. Through a hands-on, problem-solving-oriented approach, students will learn how to give shape to the images that they have in their minds. Students will learn the fundamentals of exposure, camera lenses and sensors, framing and composition, lighting, and rigging. Since film is not made in a vacuum, students will also gain knowledge relating to film history and its movements through the screening of feature and short films to learn how other filmmakers make use of cinematography and its tools. Students with limited knowledge on cameras, lights, and lenses are strongly encouraged to enroll.

Prerequisite(s): See the current course schedule for registration restrictions.
