The lens, the framing, and the color temperature are just some of the decisive elements that can help an image convey the emotions that the director intended. David Curto, a cinematographer who has worked with producers like Netflix, teaches you how to master the skills needed to face any audiovisual project.

In this course, learn advanced lighting and camera concepts to apply in your productions and tell your story effectively from a technical, emotional, and narrative point of view. Go one step further than David's first course, Introduction to Film Photography Direction, and discover how to light your sets like a professional.

Description

Learn lighting techniques to be able to develop the look of any audiovisual project in a professional way

Begin by meeting David Curto and going through his professional career, including his interest in film and even his early work shooting weddings. Discover some of the artists that inspire his work, such as Hoyte Van Hoytema or Todd Hiddo, among others.

Next, review the different tools and get to know the optics, camera sensors, and different types of lights. This way, you will know which ones to choose to tell each story.

Lights, camera… action! Begin to prepare the shoot by setting up the scene. Then, see how one scene can be filmed in different ways, either in one or in several shots, and learn how to assess each of your decisions before hitting the record button.

Finally, David shows you the most used color spaces, how to make your own LUT (Look Up Table), and how to colorize your work according to the environment and mood you want. Finally, watch the finished piece and compare the sensations of the one-shot and multi-shot versions.
