HD-OH-MI! How hard can it be? Camera bodies and basic settings.
OVERVIEW
If terms like depth of field, f-stop and ISO feel intimidating, this session will help clear up some mystery on how to get a sharp cinematic image. This demo uses three different cameras to review basic manual functions and settings, review the exposure triangle, and get users comfortable with camera bodies for various shooting scenarios.
INSTRUCTOR
Leading this is Extended Access member Conor DeVries! Conor is an award winning documentary filmmaker and professional cinematographer. His films have been screened at festivals internationally and toured across Canada. Most of this work is meant to start a conversation; ideas and perspectives to challenge the norm and spark transformation as a result. In addition to his own films, Conor has shot a wide range of projects as a cinematographer/DOP including international documentary series, music videos, short films and concerts.
This is a great opportunity to chat with someone who does this for a living, refresh what you learned in Intro to Filmmaking or see the cameras that DARC has to offer for your video art, installation, or narrative based works.
