OVERVIEW
The One-Week Hi-Def Filmmaking Workshop is the most intensive, instructional one-week program in filmmaking that can be found at any film school. In one short week, students are instructed in the basics of writing, directing, camera and digital editing, and each student writes, directs, shoots, and edits a short film project.
The pace of this one-week course is feverish, and students must be prepared to live and breathe filmmaking for the length of their stay.
The workshop is offered at the following locations:
New York City;
Los Angeles;
South Beach, Florida;
Harvard University;
Paris, France;
Gold Coast, Australia and
Florence, Italy.
Curriculum
The program begins with intensive study in camera, writing and directing. Then, students begin shooting their individual exercises. The end of the week is composed of editing class and post-production, ending with a final screening.
In the one-week workshop, each student writes, produces, directs, and digitally edits his or her own film on digital video, and rotates among crew positions when his or her classmates shoot.
Equipment and Facilities
Students use digital cameras, portable Lowel lighting packages, and digital editing software. Classrooms are equipped with a television, DVD player, and video cameras for demonstration and screening of clips.
Workshop Goal
The one-week workshop was designed to serve the needs of a variety of students, yet through hands-on classes and exercises, all students gain an understanding of the requirements and rigors of filmmaking, as well as experience the exhilaration of seeing a completed project.
For some, the One-Week course is an opportunity to see if filmmaking is the appropriate craft for them.
All students enrolling in the One-Week Filmmaking Workshop should be aware that this is an introductory course. The limitations of a one-week course should be apparent, given that many people spend years studying film and perfecting their craft. While the One-Week HD Filmmaking Workshop is not meant to be a substitute for longer-term programs, many students have made excellent projects and decided to pursue movie making in the future.
