Description

This class will teach you how to get cinematic shots using low budget industry techniques. You will learn how to choose an aspect ratio that fits your project, how to frame a subject depending on the actions and emotions that you wish to show, how to master the composition of your shots and how to use all of this together in order to plan and shoot a visually stunning scene.

For your project you will be tasked with shooting a short 1 minute scene, with any device of your choosing (a phone, a camcorder, a DSLR, etc.), in order to put your learnings into practice. You will be given a no-dialogue script that will maximize the impact of your visuals.

Prior cinematography knowledge is not required. If you are truly serious about improving your cinematography knowledge and mastering the basics of cinematography, then this is the class for you!

Instructor's Courses

TUDOR (a filmmaker from Romania) is sitting at his desk, browsing Skillshare on his laptop. Suddenly, YOU show up behind him.

TUDOR
(turns around, surprised)
Oh, it's you! Glad to see you showed up. Listen, I've been thinking
about all those film questions you've been asking me...

Tudor stands up from his desk and paces slowly towards the cupboard. He opens it and... SLAM!... a bunch of books fall from the now open cupboard, giving you a bit of a scare. You shake it off quickly, though.

TUDOR
Oops... Sorry about that. Truth is, even if I wanted to guide you to one of these,
(points at the books lying on the floor)
I wouldn't even know where to start. Filmmaking is... difficult... to say the least.

You look at the pile of books on the floor and then at Tudor.

TUDOR
Hey! Don't worry. Tell you what we can do. I'll make some videos for you, to compress
all of this handy information in a more manageable mode.

You nod in agreement and help Tudor to put all the books back inside the cupboard. He pats you on the back and grabs the camera sitting on the desk, next to the laptop.

You turn the light off and close the door behind you as you follow Tudor outside, to learn some filmmaking.
