Elements of Film: Cinematography

NEW! This fall, we’re introducing a selection of three-part seminars that explore various elements of the art of film and storytelling. Take one, two, or all three! These mini-courses are intended for filmgoers—though makers will enjoy them as well.

Across every genre, the camera is a key storytelling tool. As students watch clips from a wide variety of films, award-winning documentary filmmaker and JBFC faculty member Diane Hodson guides the conversation, showing how lighting design, color, movement, composition, and framing communicate theme and meaning in both fiction and documentary film. Looking at how visual language has changed over time, we will also consider the impact of new technology such as drones and 360-degree cameras.

This program will take place at the JBFC Theater
