Applied Learning Project
Throughout this Specialization, you’ll complete three creative projects that put theory into practice. In Camera Basics, you’ll shoot a short video that demonstrates proper exposure, framing, and lighting. In Audio & Story, you’ll record crisp sound and craft a story-driven sequence combining A-Roll and B-Roll. In Shot & Expert Tips, you’ll design a shot list and film a polished 3–5 minute project using advanced techniques like dynamic B-roll, in-camera transitions, and cinematic movement. Each project challenges you to apply camera settings, composition, sound, and storytelling choices to produce professional-quality results. By the end, you’ll have a portfolio of videos that showcase your cinematography skills and reflect your creative vision.
