A lighting master, or gaffer, is the chief electrician responsible for executing the lighting plan for a film production.

During the workshops, participants will not only learn about the different types of lighting equipment used on a film set, the rules for setting up and moving lighting and electrical equipment (the first two days at the Cinelight Kraków headquarters), but also learn the secrets of lighting management and supervising a lighting crew. The lighting master works closely with the cinematographer, and the workshop will end with work on a film location and in a film studio. Participants will be able to try their hand at implementing the cinematographer’s lighting instructions for each scene in the film. During the course, you will also learn the terminology most used by gaffers and electricians on a film set.

On the last day of the workshop, you will shoot two scenes together with the participants of the set designer workshop.
