CT332: Pros and Cons of HDR

This course provides a broad look at the current HDR landscape, including the various schools of thought regarding its pros and cons. The course includes theoretical components to explain the color science being the SDR and HDR formats and includes viewing a wide range of HDR footage from various genres. This has been a very popular course attended by colorists, DITs, and cinematographers alike.

This course is taught in two versions: one focused for colorists, and one for cinematographers. The colorist version delves into all the fine detail of the artistic and technical grading methods used in HDR projects. The cinematographer version focuses mainly on the visual experience and storytelling potential of HDR. We look at how to expose and light with HDR in mind and discuss best practices on set and in post-production.

縱覽目前的 HDR 格局，包括各種學派對其優缺點的分析。本課程包含理論部分，旨在解釋 SDR 和 HDR 格式的色彩科學，並包含各種類型的 HDR 素材觀看。這門課程備受歡迎，深受調色師、數位影像技術員 (DIT) 和電影攝影師的青睞。

本課程提供兩個版本：一個专门设计给調色師，另一個则针对電影攝影師。調色師版本深入探討 HDR 專案中使用的藝術和技術調色方法之所有細節；電影攝影師版本則主要關注 HDR 的視覺體驗和敘事潛力。我們將探討如何在 HDR 環境下進行打光，並討論摄影現場和于後製场域中的最佳选择。
