Cinematography
A program of Magic Lanthon School.
About this program
Cinematography is how a film looks: where the camera stands, what the lens sees and where the light falls. Here you learn to use those choices to tell a story.
You learn how cameras and lenses behave, how exposure and colour work, and how to light a scene by day and at night. Framing and camera movement are part of the study, along with how a cinematographer works with a director.
