Cinematography

Seven days of cinematic storytelling. Coverage that cuts together, motivated camera movement, audio, edit thinking, and a finished film you deliver yourself.

🎥
Prerequisite: Videography: Foundation. This course is for students who already control frame rates, shutter, exposure for video, ND and log. Those skills are taught in Foundation and applied here to tell a story. Complete it first, then continue here. View Videography: Foundation
Overview
From Clips to a Film

Foundation teaches you to operate the camera. Cinematography teaches you to tell a story with it: sequences that cut together, camera movement with a reason, sound that carries the scene, and the thinking that turns a card full of clips into a film.

You shoot on a Panasonic Lumix S5 IIx, the same system used on IMARA Film productions.

The course ends with a final project: a short film or branded content piece you produce from brief through delivery.

Curriculum
Five Modules, 7 Days
M3
2 days
Cinematic Coverage
How to shoot sequences that cut together. The 5-second rule, shot types (wide, medium, close), cutaways, the 180° axis rule. "Change the view or don't cut." Minimum coverage checklists and two-camera setups.
M4
1 day
Movement
Handheld, tripod, slider, gimbal: when and why to use each. Motivated vs. unmotivated camera movement. The discipline of keeping the camera still when the story calls for it.
M5
1 day
Audio
Why audio quality matters more than most beginners expect. Microphone types, placement, recording levels, and monitoring on set. Bad audio ruins good footage faster than anything else.
M6
1 day
Edit Thinking
How to organize footage, build selects, and assemble a rough cut with intention. Motivated edits, sequence logic, and basic timeline work in DaVinci Resolve. Enough to deliver your final project. Deep colour grading, audio mixing, and finishing move to the dedicated DaVinci Resolve course.
M7
2 days
Final Project
Produce a short film or branded content piece from brief through delivery. You apply every skill from the course: camera operation, coverage, movement, audio, grading, and editing. Group screening and critique.
Equipment
What You Shoot On

You work with a Panasonic Lumix S5 IIx — a professional full-frame mirrorless camera with 6K internal recording, phase-detect autofocus, and V-Log capability. Cameras, lenses, audio gear, and stabilisation equipment are provided for the duration of the course.
