Intro to Cinematography: JVC 600

Expand your camera skills in this project-based workshop, exploring the basics of cinematography through a study of the JVC 600 camera. This class introduces you to the art of visual storytelling, from storyboarding and screenwriting to frame rates, exposure, peaking and ISO, as well as camera movements and framing. You will also work on collaborative storytelling with your classmates, rotating roles on a production crew.
