So today we had our first cinematography lecture, which is pretty much a day long thing, 10 until 4 with a few breaks. The lecturer was Frankie Keung, who a cameraman and film director/cinematographer who has worked with people such as Jackie Chan and John Woo. Its amazing to be able to work with and learn from people who have worked on such big projects on a weekly basis, one of the part of this course that I love.
We learnt all about various shots, and how to use exposure, zoom, aperture etc. It might sound rather basic, but you have to start somewhere right? Besides there was plenty he taught use about cameras and their various films, lenses and components that I didn't know.
We each got to try out the video camera which he brought, though I cant remember what sort of camera it was. I quite quickly got the hang of it, and learnt the basics of using one. He also briefly showed us how to set them up, using the tripod and plane as well. All in all it was a good day, and I look forward to next weeks lecture.
