Camera Theory

Camera Theory provides a foundation for working with all types of cameras. Whether you are interested in shooting film, video or digital cinema, learn the basics of camera operation that will allow you to approach any camera with confidence. Topics include: camera components, lenses, exposure, f-stops, aperture, light metering, depth of field, aspect ratio and more. 

Camera Theory is a foundational workshop and is necessary as a prerequisite for many of our camera based and cinematography focused workshops. This workshop is recommended as a companion to Directing Dramatic Film, Visual Metaphor and Expressive Directing Techniques​, Cinematography Fundamentals, Lighting Fundamentals, Grip Fundamentals and all our camera workshops.​

Important: If multiple sections are scheduled in a season (ie. Class A, B, C, etc) do NOT register for multiple sections. Is is the SAME workshop offered multiple times in a single season to accommodate the increase interest.

Please note that a workshop does not substitute the need for LIFT members to perform a proficiency test in order to rent particular LIFT equipment and/or facilities from our Technical Department. This includes our Sony F3 Camera Package.
