This course gives an overview of camera theory for the independent filmmaker whether they plan to shoot their own work or they want to learn how to communicate with a Director of Photography and choose the right camera equipment for their project. Through hands-on exercises with analogue film and digital video equipment this workshop will cover the basics of camera operation and camera components, lenses, exposure, f-stops, aperture, light metering, depth of field, aspect ratio and more.
The workshop will include demonstrations with camera, lenses and lights provided by LIFT.
