Delegates holding a day or week pass do not need to register to attend specific events with the exception of the Panda Awards Ceremony (additional purchase required) and film screenings (no additional purchase required). Reservation details can be found in the description of each individual screening.

A Shot in the Dark

Shooting in very low light is challenging but recent technological advances have made it easier and better than ever before. Low noise colour images are now possible in dim light levels where the human eye can barely see.

This talk will cover the creative, technical and operational issues concerning shooting in extremely low light, as our industry professionals share their experiences of low light shooting during and post production, across projects as diverse as the Panda Award-nominated 'Blue Planet II' and 'Nocturnal Britain'.

Specially material will be shot, graded and screened for the first time at this event to directly compare the capabilities of low cameras, Canon ME20fSH and Sony A7SMkII.
