Course Description: | Cinematography elucidates the integration of lighting, camera movement,
visual aesthetics and actor blocking necessary for narrative development
and character revelation in the translation of script to screen. This
course focuses on how entire scenes may captured in a single dynamic
camera movement ("sequence shot") that enhances the dramatic
presentation of narrative flow and character arc through exploration of
the three dimensional set of the scene and its interpretation to the two
dimensional space of the screen. |
