March Signal Share: Intro to Cinematography Basics

Signal Shares are monthly meetups where current Open Signal members connect and collaborate! Each month, we gather with Open Signal staff, producers, supporters and special guests to catch up, learn, and share.

This month's workshop, led by Sambaran Chatterjee, will introduce you to cinematography fundamentals, covering key concepts such as lighting, camera formats, lenses, exposure, color temperature, and camera movement, however attending this event will not result in a certification toward using equipment as it is not a formal workshop. Explore how different tools and techniques shape visual storytelling while gaining practical insights into professional filmmaking. Whether you're new to cinematography or looking to refine your skills, this session will equip you with essential knowledge to enhance your creative work.

Born in Kolkata and raised around the world, Sambaran Chatterjee works as an Analyst by day, and pursues his passions of comics, film and photography whenever he can in the great metropolis of Portland, Oregon.
