Diploma in Cinematography is a programme that brings students on a journey to discover the art of storytelling through the craft of lighting and camera technology. Adopting a practical and theoretical approach, students will develop the competence of a professional cinematographer comfortable with the latest equipment, while seeking to advance the art form of Cinema.
The programme goes beyond the cinematographer’s camera to explore the integral peripheral equipment used in the entire cinematography department. The practical stages of pre-production, production and post-production are covered, while the theory of image-making is investigated through film screenings, analysis and discussions.
