The Digital Cinema Course is a multi module course that starts with the screenplay. Includes instructions on proper structure, creating solid characters using a dramatic short film, teaching writers how to overcome screenwriting traps, and how to write clearly. Computer graphics show how to construct a screenplay, content format, paper and binding to use. Film editing starts with a history of editing and digital nonlinear editing basics. The equipment use sections show equipment and gear from the basic C-stand to the intricate use of color gels and corrective filtration, preparing filmmakers for making movies with HMI, tungsten, and fluorescent lighting. Movie production puts all this learning to the test on a real movie set. The lighting section goes deep into lighting a film set. The Gear Guide covers lighting and camera packages and component use in detail for field and studio use. (First Light Media, USA)
