Course Description
DSLR and mirrorless cameras, lightweight, compact and comparably inexpensive, have taken over the world of low-budget filmmaking. Originally designed for taking stills they have been adapted by filmmakers for video production. They therefore have both strengths and weaknesses you need to know.
In this class you will learn how to use the basic controls and settings of your DSLR camera in order to achieve the best quality footage. You will also be introduced to other basics of cinematography such as lenses and lighting.
The course will cover the following:
- Aperture
- Shutter speed
- ISO
- White Balance
- Resolution
- Frame rate
- Operating the DSLR for best results when shooting video
- Lighting basics
While we recommend participants bring their own DSLR or mirrorless camera, it is not mandatory.
