MA/MS in Cinematography

The master's programme in cinematography deepens the individual artistic position and practice of students, whose foundations were laid in the bachelor's. Building on analogue film methods and current digital technology in 2D and 3D, students keep refining their artistic signature and receive individual support in finding a suitable visual dramaturgy and image language. Questions of psychology, perception and media ethics play a role. In projects across programmes, students can specialise in documentary, experimental or fiction film, and taking part in research on new image formats such as 360-degree VR and AR is explicitly supported. In the final project they are involved from the idea through concept and production to post-production. Graduates are camera professionals with technical expertise and an academic background, able to work in fiction and documentary on camera, lighting and colour grading.
