Day 1: Camera set-ups, tests and mock shooting (In partnership with FRANK Digital) 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
On the first day of this course, the instructor will lead participants through a series of camera setups and mock shoots in a commercial style. The instructor will lead a hands-on shooting scenario using multiple cameras, lenses, dollies and gimbals.
Each participant will have the opportunity to operate a cinema camera, use a gimbal, pull focus and later review the footage with an editor.
Day 2: Post-production (In partnership with Frank Digital) – 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
On day two of the course, a post-production supervisor will allow participants to see the footage shot firsthand, and the instructor will review flat lighting versus shaped lighting and how to colour correct and match two cameras.
Following this course, participants will understand current industry trends with productions and have a good working recognition of potential future platforms.
