Cinematography is arguably the biggest department in our school with the most number of students. Neo has collaborations with juggernauts like Canon and Godox, which enables students to get their hands on state of the art cameras and lighting equipment. With Neo’s practical-first approach, students will be able to shoot productions as well as live events.It’s a cinematographer’s responsibility to bring the director’s vision to life, and sometimes even guide the director in shooting a scene in the best and practical way possible. A director might only say the tone of the story, but a cinematographer should know which is the most appropriate camera for the project. Your decision decides the scale of the project.On a basic level, you might have a lot of questions while filming a scene. What type of lenses should I use for each shot? What difference does it make when I change the lighting? What colour pattern should I choose? These questions are best answered when you work on a real production, and that’s exactly what we provide.
CINEMATOGRAPHY COURSE PATHWAY
As Neo’s cinematography students, you will undergo multiple production cycles where you go through each of the processes of filmmaking. Each of your final work would be screened and evaluated so that you can evolve yourself as a professional cinematographer. The first production will be a music video, followed by a documentary, then the pilot episode of a web series, an Ad film, and finally a diploma short film. You will be given a crew of your own that consists of fellow students from direction, editing, and sound department. You will also be given associates and assistants, along with camera equipment and film units depending on the stage of your course. As a cinematography student, the idea is to work closely with your director to plan and implement the planned shots in your production. Apart from shooting, you will also work with the post production team to do colour grading and DI in our own studio.
CINEMATOGRAPHY COURSE: NEO’S APPROACH
The course starts with theoretical foundation classes like 6 controls of camera and basics of lighting techniques. Our faculties, who are also industry experts, give equal attention to the technical as well as aesthetic aspects, and make sure our students are equipped to apply them in the practical sessions. We also make sure you familiarize yourself with both extremes – from the most basic camera to the state-of-the art equipment that is being used today in the industry. We do this to ensure that you become an industry-ready professional when you successfully complete the course. We update our inventory regularly so that our students get hands-on experience working with the latest brands. We structure our classes in such a way that whenever a new equipment or camera is available, we bring them to our students. We also collaborate with top brands like Nikon or Canon to advance
