8-Week Filmmaking Workshop

Hands-On Filmmaking Workshop at NYFA

In NYFA’s 8-Week Filmmaking Workshop, students learn the essentials of film storytelling and content creation. The rigorous coursework and hands-on experience within the program help students rapidly gain experience in production.

Program DescriptionProgram Name: 8-Week Filmmaking Workshop

In the first four weeks of this intensive workshop, students study the building blocks and visual language and syntax of cinema, learning how to create a shot, sequence, and scene. Following the production and post-production of each short film, students screen their work for their classmates and instructors and engage in creative critiques and discussion. In the second half of the workshop, students learn to understand dialogue and subtext and how to work with actors. Students are introduced to sound recording and are challenged to add minimal dialogue as a storytelling tool.

At the end of the course, the final films are celebrated in a screening open to cast, crew, friends, and family. Many program graduates go on to enroll in NYFA’s 1-Year Filmmaking Certificate to continue perfecting their craft. This course is extremely hands-on, making it a great fit for students who are new to film and content creation or want to strengthen their current skill set.
