Videography is a new ‘in’ approach to narrating your story and going nowhere any time soon.

Season 1 brings an all-inclusive course to help you harness the fundamental knowledge of videography along with its essential concepts. Shubh Mukherjee, an eminent filmmaker, and a Sony artisan will be your mentor for this course where he will exchange his profound ideas about filmmaking. The course exclusively brings to light topics such as the exposure triangle, understanding lenses, and many more engaging concepts in succeeding lessons. So, get your basics right and beat the game of videography.

Instructor: Shubh Mukherjee

About Lesson

Light/exposure is always a core element of videography but to use that exposure effectively in your videos you must understand its purpose and efficacy. In this first episode of Alpha Classroom, Shubh Mukherjee discusses the imperative role that light plays in videography, especially in terms of cameras. He explains how exposure works as a triangle of three basic components, which can help you level up your videography skills.
