PART 2
Mastering Lighting for Film & TV: From Cinematic Looks to Corporate Interviews
This workshop is designed to give you an understanding of how to use lighting as a powerful storytelling tool across a wide range of production styles.
Whether you're crafting a dramatic scene for a feature film or lighting a clean, professional setup for a corporate interview, the principles of effective lighting remain essential. In this class, we’ll explore how to shape light to create mood, define space, and support the narrative, while also learning practical techniques to work efficiently on set with different budgets, crew sizes, and equipment.
Meeting Place:
Cinematique Theater

In this follow-up workshop, participants will expand on the fundamentals learned in Part 1 by adding layers of complexity to the filmmaking process. The focus will be on advanced coverage, performance direction, and technical refinement.
Objectives:
Deepen understanding of storytelling through shot selection (motivated camera movement, inserts, and reaction shots).
Explore performance direction, working with actors to enhance emotional beats and continuity.
Introduce lighting for mood: using simple setups to create atmosphere and consistency.
Practice slating, logging, and set protocol to streamline the shoot.
Rotate through advanced crew roles (script supervisor, gaffer, camera operator).
Conduct a group edit session to connect production decisions with the final cut.
Activities:
Script Enhancement & Pre-Production
Add one new dramatic or comedic beat to the original short scene.
Create a revised shot list that incorporates new coverage and camera movement.
On-Set Execution
Shoot the revised scene with attention to lighting, motivated framing, and stronger actor direction.
Assign advanced crew roles with clear responsibilities.
Post-Production Review
Rough cut the footage in-session (or review a pre-prepared edit).
Discuss how directing, cinematography, sound, and lighting choices shaped the outcome.
Takeaways: Participants will leave with a deeper appreciation for how professional workflows elevate a simple scene. They’ll understand how technical and creative decisions made during production affect the final edit, preparing them for more ambitious projects.
