Workshop Information
What is Commercial Cinematography
Cinematography is the art of photography and camerawork in film-making. In corporate advertising and marketing, video is an essential element of production. Currently many of these videos end up on Facebook and Instagram, rather than television or cinema. Budgets are shrinking which mean that filmmakers have to be smart about the way they shoot videos, in order to be as economical as possible.
A large proportion of shooting can be small scale and feature ‘table top’ products, and often shot within in a studio setting.
What to Expect
This workshop will take you through the basics of lighting, camera operation, art direction and shot design. You will essentially experience what a professional film crew would do on a commercial shoot; from setting the lighting, building small sets, to altering settings on set using an iMac.
The tutor, Jonathon Sendall, has been working in the film industry for over thirty years in a variety of roles, and has specialised in cinematography for 10 years. He has shot commercials, documentaries and drama. You can see more of his work at www.vimeo.com/channels/haxstir.
