A special in-depth class for directors (and producers) on the basic principles of cinematography. Taught by Jeanne Tyson, this three-hour class will address concepts of visual storytelling through the use of lighting, lens choices, composition, movement, depth of field, color, contrast and filters. A strong emphasis will be on lighting objectives and strategy, the director/DP relationship and how to ask for what you want.

Jeanne Tyson is a cinematographer who was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. She is a graduate of the master’s program for cinematography at UCLA. Her work on various productions, including features, shorts and documentaries, has given her the opportunity to shoot not only in Los Angeles, but also in Germany, Alabama, Arkansas and New York. In 2011, Jeanne received the award for Best Cinematography at the UCLA Festival of New Creative Work for her work on the short film Foot Solider, directed by Jon Crawford.
