AMSTERDAM CINEMATOGRAPHY LAB

Amsterdam Cinematography Lab is pleased to offer its next short-term, intensive cinema courses. After exciting and successful programs in the summer, autumn, and winter, A.C.L. will be offering an 18-hour course running the second half of September.

 

This course is unique.  Other programs teach basic tools, things you could probably learn by watching youtube tutorials.  This course teaches people who already know something about camera how to make better and more effective movies, commercials, documentaries, or any other visual story.  You will finish this course with new practical approaches to camera control, shooting for the edit, a stronger command of elements of a story, and insight into how audiences engage in your pictures.

 

This course is intensive, conceptual, and practical, and designed for people with a background related to visual language and technique, for example:

--working still photographers who would like to incorporate videography into their repertoire;

--filmmakers who wish to refine their approach to visual storytelling;

--students studying film at an academic level but looking for a better understanding of the crafting of cinema;

--journalists who want to take advantage of online video outlets.

 

This course will review and expand on cinematography basics to cover, for example, story structure, scene structure, the secondary aesthetic consequences of exposure choices, tangible differences between focal lengths relative to sensor crop factor, lighting continuity, and much more.  These topics will be covered in 6 classes over 3 weeks in early summer.

 

The cost: €450.00 plus BTW. However, the BTW is waived for currently-enrolled students with proof of enrolment.

 

Please email amsterdam.cinematography.lab@gmail.com for questions and for information on how to enroll.

 

Space is limited to 8 students per class, so don’t wait too long.
