Now that I've finished three screenplays (I'm waiting to hear back from the script analyst) and developed a business plan (I'm waiting for comments), I've decided to enroll in two more courses (cinematography and editing) at NYU this summer. The courses finish late summer, then possibly I'll be making a few short films. Last time I made short films was at Cornell, I've forgotten a lot since then. I've also been told by many, short films are good calling cards for full length films. The journey continues.
COURSE : Cinematography Intensive
Develop your creative vision while learning effective lighting techniques and how to shoot 16mm film and digital video. Capture motion picture images using ARRI-SR2 cameras. Become familiar with SD and HD video formats along with camera functions using Panasonic DVX-100 and HVX-200 cameras. Through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, discover how film stock, exposure, light, and composition affect the quality of an image. By experimenting with film and DV formats, develop your production skills and learn to select the right format for any project.
