1. Cinematographers control light and shape it to create the filmmaker's vision. They must also operate complex camera equipment.
2. A cinematographer must choose whether to shoot on film or video. Factors include budget, desired look, distribution method, and audience viewing experience. Film offers higher resolution but is more expensive, while digital is cheaper but lacks film's look.
3. Cinematographers consider screen format, lenses, exposure, depth of field, and lighting setups to best convey the film's story and tone through the visuals. Three-point lighting is commonly used to motivate scenes.

Part 4 of 4
This presentation was designed for a high school film production class - it provides a visual accompaniment to a lecture on Film History. This module covers the period from the introduction of color through the end of the studio system and the impact of television.
In 2020 as a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic, I recorded a video of this presentation. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/WM8AJTdKRpE Please feel free to use it in your classrooms.
Fun and practical film workshop learning for teenagers and adults. The guide is designed as a presentation to teach about shot types and film language as well as a 'how to' in creating films in a workshop environment. The guide covers many technical features of film such as frame rate, 180 degree rule, lesson ideas, composition, photography and shutter speed, focal length, DOF, IOS, colour temperature, white balance and more.
This is a comprehensive guide to cinematography. With nearly 60 pages and over 17,000 words of content, you’ll not find a guidebook, resource or textbook that is as detailed, as insightful or as adaptable as this.
The booklet is separated into the generally regarded aspects of cinematography including shot size, camera angle, camera movement, light and colour but also includes detailed explorations of other aspects.
Each section includes detailed explanations, expert analysis and insight, dozens of tasks, dozens of images, links to hundreds of videos on YT and assessments.
This is also a great resource to copy information from and then paste into whatever work you need to set or deliver. This means that you can use this electronic text book as a guide for you as the teacher, as a resource for students to use in the classroom, to be broken up and used as individual worksheets, for revision, for homework, for remote learning or for students who are self-isolating and unable to be in lessons in person.
Written by an experienced teacher, examiner and CPD presenter with extensive experience in writing guides for film studies, I guarantee that this resource will prove to be an invaluable tool for you and your students and worth every penny.
Camera shots commonly used in movie making and what they are used for, with examples (pictures and gifs) of each given about the explanation, all from some good movies.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. The Challenge of the Cinematographer
• Control Light
• Shape light in a way that creates a vision of the
filmmakers world
• Wrangle all of that expensive camera equipment
4. A Cinematographer’s question: Which
format will you shoot in?
• Considerations:
• Budget (although this seems to becoming less of an
issue)
• Look
• Method of Delivery
• How is your audience going to see it?
5. Shooting with Film
Definition of Medium
Light coming through camera lens interacts with chemicals on film stock to produce images
recorded in quick succession
Different formats in
medium
• 35mm: most common for Hollywood movies
• 70mm or IMAX: Used for large scale or science documentary films
• 16mm: Used for television, lower budget student films
• Super 8mm: format of most old home movies
Advantages to
shooting with Medium
• Still the most common exhibition format (most theaters have 35mm projectors) – This is
changing rapidly
• Near infinite resolution (is not a digital format)
• Has a filmic look; Most people find the format to be comforting and familiar
• Greater ability to use Depth of Field; latitude on Exposure
Disadvantages
• Expensive format to shoot in (film stock is expensive, especially when you are burning
through at lot of it)
• Required that you make prints for each theater that you are showing the film in
• Larger cameras; less portable
• Film is incredibly sensitive to light, requires more light than video to properly expose
image
Film Examples
• 35mm: Most Hollywood films
• 70mm
• 2001: A Space Odyssey
• Far and Away
• 16mm
• Primer (Winner of 2004 Sundance Grand Prize)
• Best in Show (has a documentary feel)
6. Shooting with Video
Definition of Medium
Light comes through camera and is processed on a chip. Information is then either recorded
magnetically or digitally onto a tape or other storage medium
Different formats in
medium
• Digital Files (Red Camera, DSLR, Arri Alexa)
• MiniDV
• HDV
• Digital 8
• Hard Disk
Advantages to
shooting with Medium
• Is a cheaper option that shooting on film (storage medium is typically cheaper)
• Fully digital workflow: Can go digital into edit and then output to digital for a digital
exhibition
• Smaller digital formats are more portable and thus easier to shoot in a variety of
locations
• Digital format is more readily able to shoot in low-light situations
• Great for direct to DVD releases
Disadvantages
• Digital does not have as much latitude when it comes to light levels
• If you shoot digital, you may still have to make film prints
• Motion is off-putting for many audiences; has a different look than movies shot on film
(this is getting better however)
Motion Picture
Examples
Red One
• Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides
• The Hobbit
Arri Alexa
• Hugo
• In Time
Canon DSLR
• 127 Hours
• Like Crazy
7. Camera Consideration: Screen format
• Throughout film history, filmmakers have developed a variety of formats
in which to view films. They developed these new formats in order to
keep audiences interested in going to the movies, especially when
television was introduced
• Academy Ratio (1.33:1): Closest to a square; Used in early films; Aspect ratio
of SD television
• Widescreen (1.85:1 or 1.66:1): Used in most Hollywood films; Comedies;
Widescreen television
• Anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1): Filmed using a special lens which squishes
the image down. When the film is projected a similar lens is used to stretch the
image back. Used for action films / Epics
8. Camera Considerations: Lenses and
Exposure
• Lenses
• Shorter lenses (typically those less than 35mm) are called wide angle lenses. These give
depth to the images and are often referred to as wide angle lenses
• Longer Lenses (75mm to 250mm) are called telephoto lenses. These flatten the image
and are use to photograph subjects from a great distance
• Zoom Lenses are lenses with the ability to switch between different focal lengths
• Exposure
• Exposure is determined by the f-stop of the lens. The f-stop is a measure of how much
light is coming through the iris of the lens
• Like an eye, the iris of the lens opens and closes to allow or limit the amount of light that
the recording medium is being expose to
• If the light source is bright (such as shooting outside), you will need to close the iris to restrict the
amount of light coming in
• If the light source is dim (such as shooting inside), you will need to open the iris to allow light to
come in
9. Camera Considerations: Depth of Field
• Lenses, Film Stock, and Exposure all have an effect on
depth of field
• Depth of filed is the range of distances before the lens
within which object can be photographed in sharp focus
• Often times directors will want to see everything in the
frame at focus at once, regardless of distance. This is
referred to as deep focus
• If a shot has a narrow depth of field, the cameraman
can move between what is in focus in the frame by
performing a rack focus
11. Lighting the Scene
• As film language developed, so did a system of lighting for film. The most
common system is known as three point lighting, which consists of
• Key Light: The main light source, usually comes from one side
• Fill Light: a light used to reduce any harshness created by the key light, on the opposite
side of the key. Less intensity than the key light
• Backlight: Used to differentiate the subject from their background
• By changing the variables on these three lights you can change the way that
audiences perceive the tone of your film
• High Key Lighting: Bright lights and few shadows; typically used for comedies
• High Contrast: Big drops between the spots of light and darkness; makes the film
dramatic; used in tragedies and melodramas
• Low Key: Lots of shadows and pools of light; used in mysteries and thrillers
• Some films prefer to use natural and available sources for their films with little
added light
• We are also able to give quality to the light
• Hard lighting: clearly defined shadows, crisp textures, and sharp edges
• Soft Lighting: diffused illumination
15. How can we evaluate
Cinematographers?
• The quality of the image:
• Does the quality of the image fit with the story and world of the film? What
is the quality of the image telling us about how we should view this world
• Does the color appropriately depict the world of the story?
• The quality of the light:
• Does the lighting look natural? Are we able to tell that the scene has
artificial lighting?
• The Lens
• What kind of depth of field is the camera giving us? Why is the
cinematographer choosing to use a shallow focus as opposed to a deep
focus?
