DSLR Cinematography Guide

I am asking all of you navigate to the following website:  No Film School

When there, I would like every student to sign up to receive a copy of the DSLR Cinematography Guide.  At the top of the Nofilmschool.com website, you will see a link for the guide.  Click on that.

At the start of the article, click on "SUBSCRIBE HERE" which will take you to a page that will ask for your name and email address.  When you sign up, you will start receiving weekly emails that will provide links to the No Film School articles (which are good to read).  You will also receive the DSLR Cinematography Guide as a PDF (via a link sent to you via email).  I would suggest that you can access that via your phone or computer (whatever you take to class regularly) so you can read it during class if necessary.

This needs to be done by the end of this weekend (registered and PDF proof provided to me by 2/18).  You will have assignments/assessments based on this information upon the return of our three day weekend.  Take notes on anything that you feel like would help you recall for assessments or work in the field.

Read Chapters (online version):  1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20.  Do not rely on this version (only if your PDF is NOT available).  This does not have the same amount of information that you will need as the expanded PDF version.

Read Chapters (PDF version):  1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13. 14. 15. 16. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.  This is the version you will need to have access to in class.  Proof of this version will be required for the first class session next week.
