Course Contents
• Lighting: In this section, we’ll cover lighting techniques for creating different moods and atmospheres in film scenes, including natural, artificial, and emissive light. We’ll also discuss creating realistic shadows and how lighting can guide the viewer through the scene.
• Composition: In this section, we’ll discuss how to compose a scene to create a compelling visual narrative. We’ll cover topics like framing, the rule of thirds, guidelines, depth of field, and vanishing points. We will also cover how composition can be used to emphasize emotions and create a specific atmosphere.
• Colour: In this section, we’ll discuss how colour can create different emotions in a scene, including colour theory, colour schemes, and how to use lighting and shadows to create contrast and emphasis. We’ll also discuss how colour can indicate time, place, and atmosphere.
• Camera: In this section, we’ll discuss how the camera can create different points of view and perspectives in a scene, including camera angles, camera movements, and frame composition. We’ll also discuss how the camera can be used to tell a story and guide the viewer through the scene.
• Practical examples: In this section, participants will have the opportunity to apply the techniques learned in a practical exercise. They will create a simple scene using Unreal Engine and apply lighting, composition, colour and camera techniques to tell a visual story.
We always recommend that students continue practicing between classes to polish their knowledge on average 1-2 hours a day.
After the end of the course, the student will be able to skillfully and efficiently light their scenes.
During the course, the teacher will provide projects as exercises.
