6-Week Filmmaking Workshop
The Six-Week Filmmaking Workshops provide students with a strong foundation in filmmaking in which they each make three films. The workshop is held in a variety of locations during the summer. It is a full-time workshop and is divided into two periods.
FIRST THREE WEEKS
This period balances course-work and shooting. Classes and hands-on workshops are conducted daily. Filming with classmates as crew members occurs during the weekends. As in the other Film Academy workshops, students participate in classes covering directing, writing, cinematography, production, and editing.
Students complete two films during the first three weeks, using Hi-Def DSLR cameras, Lowel lighting packages, and digital editing software. After the first three weeks, there is a brief pre-production period for preparation and consultation. At this time, students will have special classes in digital video.
LAST THREE WEEKS
This period is devoted to the writing, producing, directing, and editing of a longer film of seven to ten minutes in length.
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.
