Lighting has always been an important tool for all artists. This one-week workshop is for emerging filmmakers, cinematographers, video professionals and film school graduates who want to learn the fundamentals of film and video lighting. This class covers all the equipment, safety procedures and methodology for dramatic films, documentary interviews, and corporate and industrial videos. Screenings, lectures and demonstrations help students understand the creative possibilities. Students learn to use natural and available light more effectively and use tungsten, hmi, and fluorescent lighting systems, along with grip equipment to shape, bounce and shade light. Hands-on exercises, including lighting portraits and close-ups, product still lifes, night exteriors and interiors, car interiors, day for night and exterior night street scenes, offer the chance to learn the roles of a film crew. Level 1 students must take the Set Etiquette and Safety Crash Course before this workshop.
