Share

A filmmaker’s Theory of Everything designed for on set decision-makers 

  • 7 Lessons
  • 1.3 hours of instructional videos

Lens Theory is an essential breakdown of understanding various lenses, they feel and emotion they convey, and how they become the soul of your creation.

Often we’re so focused on how to do something that we lose sight of why we’re doing it in the first place. The theory of The Why Behind the How is essential for those who are decision-makers and want to lead and create the blueprints to craft a unified vision. 

In this course, you’ll learn how lens choice impacts the story to pull your audience in. Expect to find how a lens theory creates emotion in a scene, understand how lens language can convey specific characters, utilize color temperature of a lens, the flaring of a lens, and the resolving power of a lens to create emotional impact.
