Demystifying Post Production Digital Cinematography, Part 2

Instructor Maxon Training Team

Duration: 69:20
Views: 869
Made with Release: 25
Works with Release: 25 and greater

Using Light Effectively

This week the Training Team will focus more on the art of the cinematographic workflow. They will answer questions such as “where should you put lights" and “what is “bad” lighting?”. They’ll also look at deeper issues, such as lighting motivation, using light to create moods, and how to guide the eye of the viewer. Calling upon the greats and examining their work, from Rembrandt to Alfred Hitchcock, they will show these techniques applied to a real-world film set, as well as in Cinema 4D and Redshift.
