INTRODUCTION TO CINEMATOGRAPHY

BEYOND BASIC LIGHTING & CAMERA

DIGITAL CINEMATOGRAPHY refers to the skills and process involved in the creation of moving images - using lenses, lighting and camera technique - using TRADITIONAL lenses (usually 35mm lenses) but with digital (often High Definition H.D.) cameras.

Cinematography rightly suggests an element of photographic approaches that give particular attention to the look and feel of a shot or scene, in the same way that a photograph is often far more than simply a snapshot of a moment. 

Digital Cinematography allows its practitioners to get closer to "that cinema look and feel" and in this set of topics we look at the tools and techniques you can apply to achieve the same results.
