DIPLOMA IN CINEMATOGRAPHY
About
The Diploma in Cinematography offers students an in-depth exploration of visual storytelling through lighting and camera techniques. Combining hands-on training with theoretical knowledge, students will develop the skills of a professional cinematographer, becoming proficient with the latest equipment while gaining insight into the artistic progression of cinema.
The program goes beyond the cinematographer's core duties, introducing key peripheral equipment used in the cinematography department. It covers every phase of production—pre-production, production, and post-production—and includes film screenings, analysis, and discussions to deepen the understanding of image-making theory.
