OVERVIEW
In our 8-Week Filmmaking Workshop, each film school student writes, shoots, directs, and edits five of his or her own films and crews on 15 others.
Designed for people who wish to study the craft of filmmaking in an intensive environment, the 8-Week Filmmaking Workshop challenges students to produce five films over a period of two months.
For students with little or no filmmaking experience, the 8-Week Filmmaking Workshop offers the best of all worlds: focused learning, hands-on film productions, and the opportunity to make a fully-realized final film.
FORMAT
The program is divided between hands-on instruction in class and the production by each student of a series of short films of increasing difficulty. Special classes in digital camera and lighting are given before students shoot their films. Students use HDSLR cameras, Lowel lighting packages, and digital editing systems to create their individual film projects. Following production and post-production of each film, students screen their work for their classmates and instructors and engage in critiques and discussion.
During the second month of the program each student writes, directs, and edits a final film of up to ten minutes. Students have a pre-production period to cast, scout locations, plan their final films and meet with instructors for one-on-one consultation.
At the end of the course, the final films are celebrated in a screening open to cast, crew, friends and family. All students who successfully complete the workshop receive a New York Film Academy certificate and leave the program with a digital master copy of all their projects.
CREWS
Students direct their own projects in three or four person crews, and will rotate through production positions when fellow crew members direct. This helps each student gain an strong familiarity with every aspect of film production as they rotate from director, to director of photography, to assistant camera, to gaffer/grip.
