    My Review:
    This course is an excellent introduction to cinematography. It helped me understand the basics of camera angles, lighting, composition, and camera movement. The lessons were easy to follow, and the visual examples made it clear how cinematographic techniques shape storytelling. I especially liked the section on lighting and mood, which taught me how to use natural and artificial light creatively.

    Whether you're a beginner or want to improve your filmmaking skills, this course is a great starting point. Highly recommended for media and film students!
