Low-Budget Filmmaking: Lighting and Cinematography Basics with Edward Martin III

Low-Budget Filmmaking: Lighting & Cinematography Basics Ever feel like your ideas are bigger than your gear? In this beginner-friendly, neurodivergent-friendly workshop, filmmaker and educator Edward Martin III (Hellbender Media) breaks down how to create intentional, cinematic-looking shots on a budget—using practical lighting choices, smart camera placement, and simple movement that supports your storytelling. With 150+ credits across film, writing, and production, Edward shares real-world tips you can apply immediately, whether you’re filming on a DSLR, a borrowed camera, or even a smart phone. What you’ll learn in this session: 💡 Lighting fundamentals: how lighting creates dimension, mood, and focus (not just “making it bright”) 🎥 Camera basics: settings that shape the look of your shot (exposure, aperture, shutter speed, ISO) 🎙️ Sound that matters: why audio is mission-critical and simple ways to improve it 🧰 Low-budget gear + creative workarounds: lights, tripods, and DIY-friendly options 🧠 Planning that saves you: storyboards / layouts / scheduling that reduce stress and boost results ✂️ Post & distribution: editing workflow essentials and ways to share your work Slide deck and speaker notes from this presentation are available for free on our website.
