Over twelve weeks, create your own film: color negative, synch sound, and about eight to 10 minutes long. Students begin by learning the basics of 16mm filmmaking as award-winning faculty instruct on 16mm Arriflex 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. Working with a production crew of fellow students, complete a series of short exercises using black-and-white film, then evolve to work on your own final color sync-sound short film.
