6-Week
Advanced HD Filmmaking Camp

Prerequisite: 4-week Filmmaking or 4-week Digital Filmmaking or 6-week Combined 16MM Film and Digital Video Camp Program

In this 6-week Camp Program, students take the next creative and technical step in filmmaking. Each will direct and edit a short film of six to eight minutes, using a high definition digital video camera. This course is open only to students who have previously completed a New York Film Academy 4 or 6-week Filmmaking Camp Program. Prior to starting the program, students must submit a short script of three to six pages that they will want to direct during the Camp Program. This is a necessary requirement as there is no time to write scripts once the program begins.

Hands-on Classes in camera, lighting, sound, directing and editing will prepare students for their own projects. In Production Camp Program classes, students will shoot camera and lighting tests, as well as a short scene to learn the conventions of film coverage.

At the end of the second week of the course, students will go into production. Working in crews of four with an instructor, each student will have two production days. When not directing, students rotate in the roles of Director of Photography, Assistant Camera, Sound Operator, and Gaffer. The final two weeks of the program will be spent on digital editing and sound design. At the conclusion of the Camp Program, students will celebrate with a final screening for cast, crew, family, and invited guests.

This program demands a full commitment during class as well as on evenings and weekends. High school students will not participate in the usual group trips and activities planned for our other high school film camps. When not in class or shooting film, students will be casting, location scouting, creating storyboards, and rehearsing.
