<h3></h3><h3>About the workshop</h3><p>This one-day Sigma Videography Masterclass is aimed at photographers with an interest in advancing their knowledge of shooting videos with their mirrorless or DSLR camera systems.</p><p>Laszlo’s teaching approach is to provide you with a solid framework for understanding videography. The basis of that is introducing you to the three separate but interrelated aspects of being a videographer: you are an artist, a technician and a producer in one person.</p><p></p><h3>Be the artist</h3><p>Being an artist means creating shots that tell your story in the most visual and cinematic way no matter what the genre is — be it a family documentary, an anniversary video or short wildlife film. Some of the concepts introduced in the masterclass that cover this aspect are:</p><ul><li>    rules of composition (and breaking them),</li><li>    shot sizes (a.k.a. film grammar),</li><li>    framing (movement inside the frame),</li><li>    camera movement (or movement of the frame),</li><li>    basic types of lights and lighting principles.</li></ul><p></p><h3>Be the technician</h3><p>Being a technician means mastering the equipment you’re using. During the masterclass we’ll talk about the theoretical foundations that make filming different from shooting stills including topics such as:</p><ul><li>    frame rates,</li><li>    dynamic range,</li><li>    exposure tools (live histogram and the ‘zebra’)</li><li>    using manual focusing or AF for video.</li></ul><p>A vital part of shooting video is understanding your lenses, learning the “language” of various focal lengths, getting the hang of angle-of-view, understanding how a cine lens is different from a still photography lens and developing a deep appreciation for depth-of-field as a storytelling device.</p><p></p><h3>Be the producer</h3><p>Being a producer means that no matter how small or large your project it, you will need specific organisational skills to succeed. And so, during the masterclass we’ll learn about the tasks before, during and after production including understanding accessories (tripods, gimbals, mics, lights, filters, etc), as well as organising and archiving your footage after the shoot.</p><p></p><h3>Suggested equipment</h3><p>DSLR or Mirrorless camera with video capability. Any lenses you currently use and would like to know how suitable for Cine work they are.</p><p>You may also wish to bring any other equipment you are using or plan to use for video capture.</p><p>A range of Sigma equipment will also be made available on the day including lenses and cameras so please don&#x27;t feel you need to a certain amount of kit or experience.</p><p></p><h3>Other info</h3><p>This SIGMA Masterclass workshop starts at 10am and ends at 4pm.</p><p>Car parking fees may apply on the day.</p><p>You may wish to bring something with you for lunch.</p><p>Workshop subject to minimum attendance criteria and prevailing Covid regulations, and may be cancelled at any time by the organiser in which case a refund will be issued.</p><p>Further details such as the meeting location, things we recommend you bring and other useful information will be communicated nearer the time.</p><p>SIGMA UK will bring a wide range of lenses for you to try and test on the workshop day.</p><p></p><h3>Useful information</h3><p>We assume no liability for any act, error, omission, injury, loss, delay, mishap, or damage to persons or property arising from any cause during the course of the workshop or in transit.</p><p>We can accept no responsibility for losses or additional expenses due to delay or changes in the services to be provided.</p><p>We reserve the right to change our arrangements should conditions necessitate, or to cancel any aspect of the workshop due to exceptional circumstances. In the event that we deem it necessary to cancel the workshop we will provide a full refund which the participants acknowledge as full and final settlement.</p><p>There is always an element of risk in any activity including, but not limited to, bodily injury, death, illness, loss or damage to personal property. By joining the workshop participants acknowledge that they are aware of these risks and are physically capable of safely taking part in the workshop.
