Focus Areas • Visual experiments with daylight and urban light • “Light Portraits”: mood-driven short films capturing people or places • Storytelling with light: how atmosphere and meaning shift through lighting choices • Natural vs. artificial light: working with available light, LEDs, and improvised setups • Low-light shooting and sensor sensitivity: getting the most out of your camera • Sound and light: exploring audiovisual rhythm and ambience

Learning Format The course combines short lectures, film screenings, group discussions, and weekly practical exercises. Students will work individually or in small teams to develop a short moving image piece (1–3 minutes) with a focus on light as the central expressive element.

Goal To develop a deeper sensitivity for light as a visual and emotional force in moving image creation – and to create poetic, experimental, or documentary works “in the mood for light.”
