Course content
Students will be introduced to the basic operations of an electronic camera and its functions. Terminology from Physics such as photoelectric phenomenon, photon, light, and colour spectrum will be explained in detail. Recording chips, block schema of an electronic camera and functioning of the individual blocks will be demonstrated. Students will learn about light characteristics and light sources, they will learn about its physical substance and creative utilisation. Lighting of a portrait, facial characteristics, differentiating nuances in its physiognomy and its reaction to light will be studied. Students learn relevant terminology, such as light characteristics, pictorial and realistic manners of scene lighting, and a 3-point lighting. - Perception of reality - Film space, definition, expression - Possible ways of film space creation - Motion depiction - Film shot and its field composition - Photometric measures - Block schema of a camera - Recording chip - Signal - Lin vs. Log data space - Colour image generating - Light - Characteristics of light - Portrait - A 3-point lighting
