This is a non-fiction filmmaking workshop with a specific focus on cinematography, directed to filmmakers who want to direct and simultaneously shoot their own work. We will explore a form of cinematography that works with natural light as well as with lights found on location, and talk about strategies to edit while you shoot. In this gymnastics of the director-cinematographer, you will think about how to use the tools of fiction in nonfiction shoots (by yourself or with a small crew, without a script or a plan) to control exposure and color, think about framing and lenses, lighting and composition, movement and operation, measurement and focus, pre-shoot model-making and post- production color correction, as well as using notational drawing and the viewfinder diagramming to prepare the choreography of anticipating our shots in advance, so that you can react, often instinctively and unexpectedly, ideally without the restraints of technical or conceptual control, when you are face to face with the world.
