This program is designed to offer a year featuring lighting and camera oriented courses and workshops, together with supplementary discipline classes to round out the year. It culminates in a full production period offering experience in the camera department on various upper level shoots to experiment and diversify.
It is intended for future Directors of Photography or Assistant Camera technicians and Lighting Professionals who wish to spend a year perfecting these skill sets.
The One Year Program – Advanced Cinematography student is expected to already have a basic level of cinematography knowledge that will allow access to advanced courses and workshops on offer. This is not for beginners as the courses offered will be at an advanced BFA 3rd year or MFA 2nd year level.
The One Year Program – Advanced Cinematography follows the philosophy of “hands-on” practical exercises in classes, workshops and a third term devoted to working on the production of student films as a Cinematographer, Operator, AC, Gaffer, or Key Grip. It is designed to work on advanced cameras and workflow technologies to equip and train cinematographers for the rigors of the industry.
After successfully passing all core classes, the One Year Certificate is issued by EICAR. The One Year is a non-degree, non ECTS program.
Students in this program follow both workshops and classes tailored to this specialization in advanced work in camera lighting but also are expected to round out the experience by some key core classes in the various disciplines. One-on-one tutoring and mentorship with a cinematography professor is also a key component of the curriculum.
The program serves as a place to shoot and gather camera and lighting experience with upper classmen and women from the BFA and MFA who also looking to work with these students as key crew members of their final year shoots.
