It's actually more than what I expected
I didn't expect it to be so in-depth and thorough.
I think that the practical side is the most interesting side
because that's not something you can read about
in the books
and its quite hard to get your hands on the equipment
as well
and getting to use all these types of cameras and lights
has been really valuable.
This is a very different course.
There is a lot more to learn technically.
I think my biggest takeaway from the course is the
extent to which cinematographers paint with light
so seeing how different what appears on the sensor of
the camera or on the film is to what your eye is
perceiving and how that can be used to create
radical effects with depth of field, with colour
so I've come away with an entirely new respect for
what it is cinematographers do.
The course has been absolutely amazing.
It's been everything I wanted to get out of it.
It offered a lot of
technical knowledge that I did not know before
and it definitely
strengthened my knowledge in filmmaking
I just really wanted to get that
really nice cinematic look that a lot of filmmakers have.
Definitely really hands on which has been really good
because I think there's always two types of learners
some people learn from listening
and some people like to get stuck in
and so I think this course balances that really well.
I feel like I've definitely had a really good amount of both.
