Our lesson begins with an exploration of the anatomy of a camera rig, dissecting its various components from the lens to the sensor. Through interactive demonstrations, students gain a tactile understanding of how each element contributes to the creation of a visual masterpiece.
Next, we delve into the holy trinity of exposure: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Students learn how to manipulate these settings to control the amount of light entering the camera, thereby crafting images with the desired brightness and clarity. From achieving shallow depth of field for cinematic bokeh to freezing fast-moving subjects with high shutter speeds, the possibilities are endless.
But mastery of the camera extends beyond technical know-how; it encompasses the art of composition. Through guided exercises, students discover the power of framing and perspective in conveying narrative intent. They learn to harness the rule of thirds, leading lines, and spatial relationships to compose visually compelling shots that captivate the viewer's imagination.
To cement their newfound knowledge, students engage in hands-on practice sessions, where they apply their skills to real-world scenarios. By the conclusion of the lesson, students emerge equipped with the confidence and proficiency to wield the camera as a tool for creative expression, poised to embark on their cinematic journey with clarity and vision.
