Upcoming Event

This ShotClass Intensive workshop aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of essential cinematographic lighting techniques and more advanced concepts and practices, both in narrative work, and for shooting TVC’s, Music Video and high-end content.

How can this advance your career?

Want to learn how to light: effectively, creatively, professionally, expressively and quickly? This workshop is for you. Take advantage of this opportunity to build your skills with the guidance and expertise demonstrated by instructors with years of real on-set experience and currently working in the industry.

Over the two days, a very special guest DP (TBC) and Warwick Field ACS, will work alongside with a professional gaffer to take you through everything you need to know to get started shooting award winning images. The key to success is a strong knowledge of the fundamentals that you will build on during your career. The course offers plenty of more advanced concepts you can take away and use on your next job. Learning with ShotClass in a realistic set-like workshop makes it clear why this is the best way to win jobs based on your superior skills, application and efficiency.

Participants will have hands-on opportunities to try out lighting for themselves using a gaffer and their gear, a model and a film set.

ShotClass is committed to providing a welcoming experience and access to events for everyone, regardless of your skill level, experience or needs. This includes physical venue access and consideration for people from diverse and marginalised groups as well as people with disabilities.
