The Moving Image: Foundations of Cinematography

A foundational (200-level) cinematography course and the first step in the CIN track, built from the Dean's guide to the moving image. Covers what a director of photography does, the bridge from still photography to motion (frame rate and the 180-degree shutter rule), the language of shot sizes, camera movement and angle, a hands-on manual video setup, the three directions of light, and how editing and sound assemble shots into story. Culminates in a self-shot short cinematic sequence.
