GFA 3020 - GFA Motion Picture Set Lighting I
Credit Hours: 6
Motion Picture Set Lighting I will equip students with the skills and knowledge of electrical distribution and set lighting on a motion picture or episodic television set in order to facilitate their entry and advancement in the film business. Students will participate in goal-oriented class projects including power distribution, set protocol and etiquette, properly setting lamps, lighting a set to feature film standards, motion picture photography, and other crucial skills to work in the set lighting department. Emphasis will be placed on set etiquette including, but not limited to, participation in exercises, attitude, professionalism and technique on and off set.
This course also introduces lighting on location, providing students with the opportunity to rig and light the most common situations a set lighting crew faces – day exteriors, day interiors, night exteriors and night interiors. In preparation for lighting a particular location, students will participate in location scouting to ascertain all resources needed – equipment, man power and time. Upon completion of this course, students will have a broad base of knowledge of the equipment, techniques, communications, specifications, and a complete understanding of the behavior of light and how to manipulate/control it to feature film standards.
[NOTE: GFA 3020 is the upper division version of GFA 2020 for institutions needing upper division credits for Minors, Nexus Degrees or other programmatic requirements. There is no additional pre-requisite for 3020. Students would take 2020 OR 3020, not both.]
