Professional Diploma in Lighting and Cinematic Drone Techniques

This professional diploma brings together two crafts that rarely meet in one program: film lighting and cinematic drone operation, both applied to boats, ports and the sea. You will study the fundamentals of audiovisual lighting, from color temperature and exposure to lighting interviews and nautical products; lighting outdoors and in the marine environment, with reflections, bounce and diffusion, golden and blue hour and bad weather; lighting equipment, power on board, water protection and electrical safety; the fundamentals of cinematic drones, cameras, gimbals, regulations, flight planning and risk assessment; cinematic flight techniques such as tracking boats, flying over the sea, taking off from vessels and filming regattas; combined lighting and drone work, including night shoots and coordination with ground crews; post-production and color grading of marine scenes; and production, budgets, permits, rights and contracts.

What sets this professional diploma apart: it is built for the conditions of the sea, where glare, wind, salt and moving platforms change every decision about light and flight; practical safety content on electrical equipment near water and drone operation from boats; a full module on combining aerial and ground cameras with lighting, including night scenes in port; a business thread on budgets, insurance, image rights and service contracts; an in-depth structure of eight modules; and a final project in which you produce a complete audiovisual sequence that combines lighting and drone footage.
