Best place to study Cinematography

[Max Field]

Yeah being bluntly honest, if you have internet and access to used equipment then you really don't need formal schooling in this era. Create a bunch of shorts to learn how to block for sequences and watch a lot of movies you like the look of and diagnose how they created those looks, use the short films you create as a means of practicing said looks.

If you are genuinely passionate and researching the how-to's of learning techniques online the vocabulary will come to you if you have a mind to Google anything you might not understand.

And industry connections are really the only thing that matters for jobs, you could be a relatively boring artist who makes a lot of mistakes but as long as connected people like and know you you'll find a way to keep getting hired. I'm not exactly sure if there was a time like 20 years ago where experience heavily mattered, but in 2024 America it means next to nothing for finding work.
