There is no monopoly over CREATIVITY
Schwarbu Eastwood Kamara and his colleagues Idriss Josancy Missai and Sahid James Kamara were giving the opportunity to teach cinematography at the University of Sierra Leone (FBC) Fourah Bay College. I thank Mr Joshua Nicole who is a lecturer for the Mass communication department for given us this opportunity. these are the few abstract we taught them. From the 24th to the 25th August 2022.

First the Black Magic cinema camera 4k, 3 Rokinon prime lenses: (35mm, 50mm, 85mm) DJI mini drone, Rode wireless mic, a Sarchtler tripod.

What is a prime lens?
A prime lens is a fixed focal length lens that doesn’t let you zoom in or out. Focal length is the distance between the point of convergence in the lens to the sensor in your camera.
Prime lenses also have a very wide or large aperture, an adjustable opening inside the lens to regulate how much light passes through.

What is zoom lens?
A zoom lens is any lens with a variable focal length. Therefore, it can be “zoom” in or out to transform the focal length and field of view. This magnifies or demagnafies the image. Giving the appearance of moving closer or further from the subject without physically moving the camera.

There is so much with the camera and composition. Creativity has to serve the content.
You really have to be in abandoned when you want to create something special.
Reflectivity contributes to how much Brighter you are in your highs, or low in your lows.

Art: is having something to say.
Content: is having to say something.

Filmmaking is an art. On a production set everyone is required to think creatively. This means that from ideation, pre-to-post production, creative decisions must be made intentionally and when need arises. Problems occur at every level. Serious problems. Getting these problems out of the way, requires a great deal of creative fuel.
