HD DIGITAL FILMMAKING IN
Tokyo, Japan
TOKYO just may be the most Japanese city in Japan. The city is an immersion in a great culture. One can experience a great metropolitan and historic city, drink cup of coffee, enjoy a piece of Sushi. Temples and shrines create pockets of calm between traffic-clogged streets. From mom-and-pop noodle houses to Western-style chain restaurants, from teahouses to techno clubs, Tokyo is the place to witness age-old Japanese traditions blending with intense modernization.

With a population of 12.64-million, Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world – undoubtedly, one of the most intriguing, exciting, and invigorating!

OVERVIEW

New York Film Academy students at the Tokyo Workshop will be immersed in the ever growing field of High-Definition digital filmmaking. They will get the opportunity to explore the many different formats currently available in this exciting new medium. Students will learn the HD workflow from camera operation to digital editing and out put as they shoot their short films on HD, the format used in such feature films as “Star Wars Episode III” and “Once Upon a Time in Mexico”.

Each student directs two projects. For each of these films, the student will have to go through the process of writing, producing, directing and editing. The first film, shot at the end of week one, focuses on the art of the shot and film continuity*. The second projects, shot at the end of week two, can be documentary, narrative film or music video.

Students work in three to four person crews to complete each film. Every student directs two films. When their colleagues direct, students rotate among the key crew positions.

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 will receive a New York Film Academy Diploma and a DVD copy of their film

*Continuity is one of the fundamental principles of modern filmmaking. Students are challenged to make a film that maintains continuity in Story, time and space.
