Across four evening classes, you will develop your understanding of the camera and build your cinematography and post-production skills, taking a short story from filming through to a finished edit. Students will have access to Nikon ZR cameras throughout the duration of the course.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe course begins with an introduction to the camera body, button functions and key features, helping you become comfortable with its controls. You will explore R3D and N-RAW recording formats and understand how your shooting choices influence your post-production workflow.\u003cbr\u003eFrom there, you will move into the fundamentals of cinematography, covering ISO, full-frame and crop modes, framing, composition, and shutter angle versus shutter speed. Practical lighting setups will help you develop your cinematography skillset and explore how light shapes the mood and appearance of a scene. You will also learn about filming interviews, recording 32-bit float audio, and using histograms, waveforms and zebras to assess exposure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePutting these skills into practice, you will shoot a 90-second story before moving into post-production. This stage introduces the differences between RAW and Log footage, converting R3D and N-RAW footage to Rec.709, and the flexibility RAW footage offers when adjusting image settings after filming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe course concludes with editing your footage, applying a cinematic colour grade and incorporating sound effects. Through practical exercises, you will develop a clearer understanding of how camera settings, lighting, editing and sound work together to support your story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCourse Outcomes - What You'll Take Away\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfidence navigating the Nikon ZR’s controls and key features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn understanding of R3D and N-RAW recording formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical experience with lighting setups for cinematography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnowledge of ISO, full-frame and crop modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFraming and composition techniques for visual storytelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn understanding of shutter angle versus shutter speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview filming and 32-bit float audio recording fundamentals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure assessment using histograms, waveforms and zebras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical experience shooting a 90-second story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn understanding of RAW versus Log footage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR3D and N-RAW conversion to Rec.709\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperience editing, colour grading and adding sound effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA completed short video developed during the course\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CTSP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67611095957872,"sku":"CTSP026","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/9342\/8890\/files\/zrcoursecoverimage.webp?v=1790780766","url":"https:\/\/www.ormsdirect.co.za\/products\/nikon-zr-from-camera-to-cinema-course","provider":"Orms Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
