This online workshop explores the process of translating scripts into images. Participants will learn the language of the lens and the importance of visual storytelling in film.
This programme is designed and delivered by Andrew Speller, an experienced cinematographer and camera operator with over 30 years in the film industry. Andrew will guide participants through the visual techniques that make up the heart of great cinema and storytelling.
The programme will be delivered over six weekly sessions and is suitable for those beginning the journey into filmmaking or those who want to fine tune their visual literacy. With a mix of stills photography and cinema examples, participants will learn how visual elements work together to tell a story. A weekly project is set and then assessed in the following session, so techniques can be applied and reviewed for practical feedback.

Cinematography is not a science, but to be able to actually ask questions to Andrew, a real Director of Photography, made me understand more the approach and sensitivity of a cinematographer." - Gabriele, 2022
"Was looking for an introduction and something that fit around my day job, it was excellent." - Kate, 2022
