Description

This workshop will cover advanced lighting for filmmakers,  cinematographers and gaffers and will take you deeper into the practical and artistic expression of lighting. Scenes and scenarios will be  deconstructed and recreated through hands-on exercises, to achieve a specific visual aesthetic for creative storytelling.

Participants will explore dramatic lighting techniques for interior and exterior, High Key and Low Key, static and moving subjects, actors and locations.

Daylight and fixtures, soft and hard light concepts, as well as all the peripheral lighting tools will be used to shape and control the look and feel of your picture. This is an opportunity to understand the many tools in your palette combined with valuable hands-on experience.
