Create your own film: color negative, synch sound, and produce about 8 to 10 minutes of footage during this 12-week intensive. Begin by learning the basics of filmmaking through instruction from award-winning faculty on shooting with 16mm Arriflex cameras and digital SLR cameras, lighting for film, audio recording, and nonlinear editing with Final Cut Pro. Lectures and demonstrations cover important filmmaking skills, such as cinematography and sync-sound production. Collaborate with a production crew of fellow students, complete a series of short exercises using black-and-white film, then advance to working on your own final color sync-sound short film.
