Learn about exposure for film and how to elevate your visual style

Camera Exposure supplies tips, techniques, and diagrams that make an immediate difference in the way you expose your image. This is the kind of guidance not readily available in your average manual or text book. Rather, Shane Hurlbut, ASC encourages both the exploration of technical aspects of exposing an image and the importance of competence with the tools used in determining exposure. This course assists you in building a foundation so you can make informed creative decisions in your storytelling.

Shane cracks open the playbook to help you understand his methodology behind testing film stocks and new digital cameras for projects. These tests reveal how far you can push the over and under exposure of your camera platform and how to train your eye without the use of waveforms, histograms, and other devices. You can expect to learn about dynamic range, exposure for different formats, how to perform camera tests, and lighting for 2K versus 4K. In addition, you’ll discover how to use a light meter and color meter and their relevance in digital filmmaking. Also included are podcasts with Shane where he discusses various camera technologies and how to elevate your visual style.
