It will be nice to learn a more advanced level learning of cinematography/animation course to add even more depth to the speaking points that you have laid out from your foundation course, and tailored for intermediate and advanced level learners.
Great introduction to cinematography concepts. Straightforward to follow along and gave me some new insight in setting up better shots when I draw storyboards or comics.
The course went through a lot of explanation and also explain some of the key elements and terms used in creating a film.
Extremely motivational and made simple for anyone to grab the basics !
