The target of this inquiry of the Center for Advanced Studies of Film Technology of the University of Television and Film Munich in Cooperation with IMAGO was an international overview about the teaching of cinematography done by cinematographers. This should cover various topics, from working conditions via teaching subjects and teaching methods through to the personal and individual approach of the participants. Included were the influences of new technologies as well as traditional ones, the institutional frameworks for teaching and the personal motivation for teaching.
This inquiry was aimed at cinematographers who were in professional business for fictional and documentary movies and TV productions including commercials, corporate TV, TV studio and remote pickup productions and free artistic productions with similar key features in the years 2015/2016/2017 and who were teaching cinematography in the same period of time.
