The film industry remains one of the most creative and economically stable sectors of the economy. If you are a creative person, with a dream of becoming a cinematographer, the best way to start is with formal training. A cinematography degree will ensure that you are exposed to the wide variety of technical and artistic skills that are required for success in this field.
Most cinematography and video production programs will cover the history of cinema and the art of filmmaking and telling a story, as well as the 'nuts and bolts' of lighting, camera operation, composition, and the use of sound equipment. Most programs will require students to work on one or more personal projects, which will help you build the portfolio you need to get started in the industry.
