Thinking like a DP (Director of Photography) - Workshop

Filmmaking is a collaborative storytelling process where the Director of Photography brings an essential emotion to the film. Whether you are working with a director who is very specific in what he/she wants or with one who leaves you a lot of artistic freedom, the DP needs to know the various ways to frame and light a scene in order to achieve a certain effect, set a mood or make a statement. You are in charge of the camera work that brings the director's vision to the screen. So, what does it take other than technical expertise? This class from Boulder Digital Arts will show you!

This workshop will cover:
-Tight vs. wide shots
-Fast cuts vs. long scenes
-Filters vs. Post effects
-Shaky cam vs. steadicam vs. sticks
-Dolly vs. zoom
-Upshots vs. downshots vs. crane shots
-Focusing the eye vs. observing

We will view and analyze scenes from select feature films and discuss why a particular scene worked or didn't work. Please bring your passion for movies, a critical eye and an enthusiasm for discussion.
