The class will then learn about the art of using fill cards, color temperature, catch lights, and light patterns for portraits (such as Rembrandt light). Finally, take this knowledge and transition to study the use of strobes, modifiers, the flash meter, colored gels, backdrops and good studio practices. Learn how to apply these techniques to light still life, portraits, and other subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudio Lighting Basics is designed for students who have a great understanding of using their cameras in manual mode, how aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance work, as well as how to change them on their cameras as taught through the prerequisite Photography I courses. Students can use digital or film cameras, but if using film please keep in mind the necessary post-processing time when doing the assignments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOURSE OBJECTIVES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore types and qualities of light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to shape light for different effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to build simple \u0026amp; complex lighting setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical use and understanding of the latest gear from small, but powerful constant lights, to speedlights and traditional studio strobes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio and set safety, setting up equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage workflow including tethering and editing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOURSE OUTCOMES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand key lighting principles and terminology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain confidence working with single and multi-light setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe able to control and shape light to create mood, texture, dimension, and story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop skills using constant and flash lighting tools across a variety of brands and formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete a final lighting-based project that showcases technical growth and creative voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOURSE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBelow is a general outline of the types of equipment and materials students will be required to provide to complete assignments for the class; complete details and resources will be shared during the first class meeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCamera - Digital or Film with Hot Shoe; if you are a film shooter and don’t have a hot shoe, there are workarounds for the sessions with flash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens - Any lenses will work, however something in the 18-55, 24 - 120 range for zoom, or 20mm, 35mm for still life, 50mm or 85mm for portrait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional - At least one session will include on\/off camera flash, if you have one, you could bring it to this session\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPORTANT NOTES FOR STUDENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeekly attendance is vital to student success in PCNW courses.\u003c\/strong\u003e We require that students attend the first meeting in order to retain their spot in the class.
