WHAT MAKES USDIFFERENT?

HaNds-oN ExpERIENcEFRom day oNE

Hands-on ExpEriEncEFrom day onEAll of our programs are based on the philosophy of “learning by doing.” Every curriculum stems from that belief. We offer an intensive, hands-on, total immersion approach to learning.

Our courses are taught through a balance of classroom instruction, hands-on workshops, and immediate experience. The approach is holistic, ensuring that students understand and have experience in all aspects of the subject they are studying. This gives them flexibility as they become professionals. The experience they gain in the many collaborative roles that are required to produce good work, will be of immeasurable value to them as directors, actors, writers, producers, editors, cinematographers, animators, or whichever path they choose.

Celebrated guest speakers from the film, television, and media industries frequently visit the Academy to share their knowledge and experience with our students. Please see a partial list of recent guest lecturers on the next pages.

To support our philosophy and our innovative curricula, the Academy maintains an unparalleled faculty and one of the largest film and production equipment inventories in the world.

The Film Academy’s many programs in visual and performing arts do not require previous experience, however, they challenge students to push their creative abilities to the maximum.

The New York Film Academy believes that the most effective way for our students to master their chosen craft is to immediately start creating their own work in a hands-on intensive working environment. Towards this end, all students begin practicing their craft during the first week of all our programs.

WHo GoEs To THE FILm acadEmy?

Our students come from across the United States and all over the world to learn

and work together. This creates a rich exchange of culture and ideas and builds

an international network for our graduates. While students often arrive at the

Academy with little or no experience in the field, they share a passion for film and are ready

to commit themselves to an intensive hands-on education.

The Film Academy is also honored to be the film school of choice of many Hollywood

filmmakers, actors, and figures from the entertainment and media world who have sent a

son, daughter or family member to study with us. Here is a partial list:

Steven Spielberg / Martin Scorsese /

Terry Gilliam / Bruce Springsteen

Stephen Frears ( The Queen) /

Peter Bogdanovich (Last Picture Show) /

Jim Sheridan ( In The Name of the Father) /

Roger Donaldson (Bank Job) / Gary Ross ( Pleasantville ) /

George Romero (Night of the Living Dead) /

James L. Brooks ( Terms of Endearment ) /

AND ALL WHO HAVE A PASSION FOR FILMYet, some of the best films to come out of the New York Film Academy have been made by students who have no connections to the film industry. These have included sons and daughters of farmers, teachers, merchants, civil servants, doctors, lawyers, clergy, and people from all occupations reflecting the breadth and scope of diversity that make up the world. Students who attend our High School program have gone on to Ivy League colleges, New York Film Academy degree programs, and can be found working at all levels in the film industry.

T hrough intensive study of their craft, our students learn skills that can be applied to any future creative, educational or professional endeavor. In sending your son or daughter to the New York Film Academy, you are making an investment in his or her

growth and development, as well as providing a wonderful and exciting learning experience.

LeadershipTo be a successful artist in these collaborative fields, leadership qualities are important. Through the work and development of the projects that students make or perform in, students can enhance their ability to engage others to work together to create wonderful things. These collaborative experiences can provide a strong foundation for future leadership responsibilities, whether in the arts or elsewhere.

CreativityNew York Film Academy programs encourage students to think outside the box. The challenges inherent in these crafts force students to develop creative solutions to achieve desired results. Students will find that this type of creative thinking can be applied to many types of challenges, whether artistic, academic or professional.

CoLLaborationQuality leadership and collaboration go hand in hand. To achieve educational and creative goals in each of the New York Film Academy workshops, students must work together and often depend on their classmates’ assistance to execute their projects. This collaboration fosters the ability to conduct oneself with professionalism and respect for others and their creativity, and to be a contributing member to any successful team.

disCipLineThe discipline required to make quality films, to learn the animation software, research and report relevant news topics, write screenplays or explore and perfect the craft of performing a character is extraordinary. Discipline such as this can, of course, be applied to any undertaking beyond a New York Film Academy workshop. At the Film Academy, a student will need to practice the art of discipline, and try his or her hand at a craft that requires full dedication to succeed.

expression and individuaLityThrough writing, performance and storytelling, our students have an extraordinary opportunity to express their point of view and discuss their thoughts, ideas and concerns. We encourage our students to use their own experiences to inform their work, which often results in truthful and moving stories and performances. Often times, students leave the Film Academy with a greater confidence and strength to freely express themselves and their individuality.

HiGH ScHool cAMpSOur high school camps are designed for students with little or no previous filmmaking, acting, animation, or journalism experience. They are intensive workshops that fully immerse students in the craft of writing, directing, casting, shooting, acting, editing, animating, or reporting.

We have chosen some of the most prestigious and inspiring locations in the world to hold our camps including New York City, Harvard University, Paris, France, Florence, Italy, Disney Studios and South Beach in Florida, Australia, Abu Dhabi, UAE, and Los Angeles, California.

The camps at each location are closely supervised and provide a nurturing environment that encourages students to take creative risks. While students are not required to live on campus, our locations include the option of supervised housing. As part of the camp experience, students take part in a range of extracurricular activities and field trips particular to each location. A complete description of our summer camp locations and workshops for 2014 is included in this brochure.

lEArninG THroUGH filM AnD AcTinGFilmmaking students study and practice the four major film crafts: writing, directing,

cinematography, and editing. They learn to structure a story and write a script – the

academic benefits of this are self-evident. Each student learns to plan, organize,

and execute a series of film productions—this develops excellent work habits. Each

student learns management skills while directing their crew and actors. Through

analyzing and critiquing their finished films, students learn how to use feedback

effectively.

Acting students study various techniques for creating believable performances and

the requirements of acting for the camera. Students explore Stanislavski’s “Method”,

voice and movement, scene study and improvisation, among other topics. The

Acting for Film Program is a tremendous opportunity to study human behavior and

storytelling, and to develop the discipline required of an actor.

The organizational, communication, writing, and critical thinking skills developed

through producing complex productions and performances is of enormous value

to our students if they decide to pursue further education in these arts or pursue

careers in this industry in the future.

Our 3-D animation workshop is offered at our New York City and Harvard University

locations. It gives students a thorough introduction to using MAYA. This incredibly

powerful tool gives students the opportunity to create their own 3-D projects using

the software which is the industry standard.

oUr STUDEnTSHigh school students who

choose to enroll in our summer

workshops are typically among

the most motivated and talented

among their peers at home.

Students must devote one to

six weeks working in a focused

program. Some students travel

across the country or the globe

to attend these workshops. The

students are typically comprised

of an eclectic blend of people

from diverse cultures, points of

view and lifestyles. This mix adds immeasurably to the learning experience of each participant.

xiCo MeireLLes, Mother of tatjana 4-WEEK FILM CAMP - FLORENCE, ITALYWe sent our daughter Tatjana Meirelles, on a NYFA film-making course in Florence (as a prize for her academic achievements) – she loved it !! Blissfully exhausting, she said – something like 10 short films in 4 weeks? She informed us that this was the best, the most intense film-making experience she had so far, in her short film career – it certainly helped her in the subsequent years at UCT (University of Cape Town), while finishing off her Film & Media degree. So, well done NYFA! As a result, Tatjana has from a very young age, been literally ‘living, eating, talking & sleeping’ film 24 hours/day, using her bedroom as this permanent brain-storming venue for budding local film-makers...

Mary free, Mother of Megan 3-WEEK TEEN ACTING CAMP - LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIAI picked up Megan yesterday from the three week program and must say that I have never seen her more excited about life. In the last few years our family has experienced its share of challenges. The effect on Meg has been compounded by adolescence and a distinct lack of real support and positive direction from her teachers. The professionalism and enthusiasm of your staff has restored her faith in her future and her abilities. I cannot thank you enough for all that you have shown her. Please know that you all have made a difference in this young person’s life.

vaL LeWis, Mother of david 3-WEEK TEEN DIGITAL FILM CAMPLOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIAI cannot say a big enough thank you to you all - David has obviously had a thoroughly enjoyable time with you. He has talked more or less non-stop since he landed yesterday morning, pausing only to go on Facebook to contact all the new friends he’s made from around the world. Within 10 minutes of being in the front door he was already proudly showing us his second film. He’s now trying to calculate how on earth he might be able to earn enough money to do another course next year! “Awesome” is the word he keeps repeating! He says it’s been the best three weeks of his life so far and he has grown immeasurably as a result.

From a parent’s point of view he’s obviously been well looked after and the fact he didn’t miss us, tells me how much of a success the course was at keeping them busy and focused. I can appreciate how much hard work goes on behind the scenes to make it so worthwhile. From my initial enquiries to keeping in touch, you’ve been brilliant. Thanks.

eLaine pasqua, Mother of evan ONE-WEEK FILM CAMP - NEW YORK CITYMy son Evan Cohen attended the one week film workshop in New York City. I wanted to thank you and your staff for providing Evan with such a positive experience. He learned so many new skills from the program. From writing an interesting plot, to working with new equipment, editing, and appreciating how organized one must be when producing a movie, this program has it all! Most importantly for a 14 year old who has been making movies since he was 8, this workshop heightened his interest in filmmaking. He still wants to pursue this as a career.

rosita LaMa Muvdi 4-WEEK FILM CAMP - NEW YORK CITYI attended NYFA for the 4-week summer program. I am currently studying film at Boston University and got into NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts--I had submitted my NYFA final film. Thank you.

jay fisher4-WEEK FILM CAMP - LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIAI am writing this to tell you what an amazing program you have. I attended a four week high school film camp at Los Angeles last summer. It was by far one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to leave the program with a strong body of work (3 short 16mm films), which proved to be invaluable when I applied to film schools. I was accepted to both NYU and USC’s film production programs. I will be attending USC next fall to begin what I hope will be a life long career in the film industry. The New York Film Academy solidified my interest in pursuing a career in filmmaking. Thank you for giving me the resources I needed to get my foot in the door.

Maria & oZZZie vannuCCi, parents of brian TEEN FILM CAMP My husband and I are writing to the NYFA to express our many thanks for giving our son Brian such a wonderful and delightful experience during this past summer. A special word of thanks goes to Michael Sandoval for creating such a learning environment, motivation and support for Brian. We were very proud to see the final product at the Premiere and extremely impressed with what he has accomplished in a short summer.

brett a. hopKins, father of KaCy ONE-WEEK TEEN ACTING CAMP, NEW YORK CITYHello, my daughter Kacy Hopkins attended the One-Week Acting class. Let me tell you she had a wonderful time and learned so much and has been bitten by the acting bug. When we got home she tried out for the lead role in our community theater play. The competition was intense,but she landed the lead role in a play called “Our Town.” She told me that she applied what she learned in the NYFA class to her audition, and it WORKED.

She is currently a college freshman with the major of theater. I would like to thank the NYFA staff for providing a safe learning atmosphere for my daughter Kacy. She was sad when it ended and wants to come back for the extended class. I would like to say HATS OFF to Michael Sandoval for a great job in providing for all of the students especially my daughter Kacy. She told me that she enjoyed every instructor to the fullest. THANKS NYFA.

franK Zinghini, father of arrien 4-WEEK TEEN FILM CAMP, DISNEY STUDIOS, FLI just wanted to thank you for giving Arrien such a great opportunity at this camp. He came back ten years older, two feet taller, and with a heightened enthusiasm for all things film. It’s great to see….I can’t even imagine the amount the work you had to put in to make this happen, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate it. Please extend my thanks to your entire staff.

MeLissa batavia, Mother of juLia 4-WEEK TEEN FILM CAMP - LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIAParents usually want to make most, if not all, their child’s dreams come true; but never in MY wildest dreams did I ever expect the caliber of film that Julia learned how to produce in such a short time.

Julia’s three little films blew us away, and have blown away everyone we’ve shown them to. The confidence she gained in her ability to pitch and storyboard an idea, to produce, direct, shoot and edit – (with or without music, etc.) and... god forbid, actually show off the film for critique – will remain strong enough to sustain her for some time.

Frankly, I really didn’t know what to expect. After all, it’s camp! But Julia was motivated to take full advantage of the opportunity and with fantastic results!!! More importantly, Julia met kids just like her... film fanatics... nerds who know just as many obscure movie lines as she does; new friends who appreciate all the elements that make a film great... or a dud. She arrived home very very happy and certainly proud of all she accomplished. Thank you so very much for everything. Best Wishes.

biLLy Carrier 4-WEEK FILM CAMP - NEW YORK CITYI’ve loved film since I was a little kid, and I was a little cocky about how much I know or what I thought I knew! This workshop taught me a lot about the creative choices a director has to make, information that I could apply directly to my own films. The film crew experience was great—but a lot of work! I have a lot more respect for filmmakers now that I understand what happens behind the scenes. It’s really tough! Call me crazy, but I loved it! This workshop showed me that I have the stamina needed to make films, and now I’m confident enough to make more films in the future.

MarC ripper 4-WEEK TEEN FILM CAMP I’ve graduated from high school and am currently enrolled as a sophomore at the North Carolina School of the Arts, School of Filmmaking. The past year has just been great--learning and gaining experience for a future career in the industry, including hands-on work with crews and in the classroom, and meeting other students who are just as passionate about filmmaking.

Outside of the school, I have joined on as a company director to develop a production company with someone I met at school, along with his brother. We currently have several members working collaboratively. The name is Umphenour Productions. If you’d like to know more about the company, please take a look at umphenour.com.

Well, that’s what is new with me. I’m glad you’re developing new programs to open it up to more people. Again, it was a great experience that I think many potential filmmakers can benefit from. Thank you.

KareeM haMMad 4-WEEK FILM CAMP- LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIAI made so many new friends and I also received a wonderful introduction to filmmaking. This definitely strengthened my initial thought about going to film school. Every time I see a movie, I think about continuity, lighting, angles and editing. The program is so great. I had the best summer ever...

andres anton diaZ FILM CAMP I was really excited about going to the workshop two months ago… but I didn’t really know what I was getting into. A month of storyboards, story developing, measuring, editing, and mistake after mistake, was probably just what I needed to know how much I love filmmaking and want to continue with my dream. July 2002 was probably one of the greatest experiences of my life…

jordan MarKs 4-WEEK TEEN FILM CAMP - DISNEY STUDIOS, FLI just wanted to let you know what an amazing experience it was. I will never forget my time there... What made the camp such a wonderful experience, was the influence from staff and instructors. They really created a fun learning environment and I would recommend that program to anyone. I just wanted to thank you for creating such an exciting program.

Cynthia haLL, Mother of evan 4-WEEK TEEN ACTING CAMP - PARIS, FRANCE Want to thank you, Bella, Lise and Frank for all the work you put into organizing the high-school film program in Paris. I can only speak for Evan (though I am sure this goes for all the students) when I say that he gained more than I could have hoped for. This was the first time that Evan worked in a group of colleagues that share his same passion and have as much experience as he has. He has come away from the program with much confidence and maturity. As a parent, that is all you ever hope for from their experiences. You all do a fabulous job and give these students a clear insight into this very complex craft. Bravo!

Cindy i. WanerMan, Mother of aLex ONE-WEEK TEEN FILM CAMP Last Summer, my son, Alex Wanerman attended the one-week program. Today, March 20, 2004 his film received top honors at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania. The panelists compared him to Chaplin! Alex’s film was by far the best, and the most professional. Thank you for all that you taught him. I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone!

ViDEo gAmE DEsigNVideo Game Design is an exciting and fast-growing field. New games are released every day, and while some spark a huge following and create great demand for the designers to create more, others quickly fade away.

The Academy’s game design curricula balance instruction between the necessary, important technical skills and the art of the craft.

iMporTAnT inforMATion About our programs

EnrollMEnTno previous experience is required.Many students are concerned that they will be at a disadvantage in our workshops, because they have no background in the craft. These students should understand that our programs are designed to accommodate people with little or no experience. We teach all the basics, starting from square one, and move on from there. For students who have studied with us before, or can demonstrate that they have sufficient experience in the craft, we would recommend our advanced programs.

The New York Film Academy encourages enrollment of students from all backgrounds. Students, however, must be prepared to live and breathe their choice of study in an intensive total immersion workshop. As space is limited, we recommend early application to guarantee a place in the workshop of your choice.

EqUipMEnTEvery student in a filmmaking or digital filmmaking workshop gets to shoot their own projects with the equipment introduced in classes, and these students will have a camera in their hands on the very first days of the program.

• Students in the Filmmaking Camps shoot 16mm film with Arriflex-S cameras and portable lighting packages (NY and LA only).

• Students in the Digital Filmmaking Camps and the Music Video Workshops shoot with HD digital cameras.

• Students in the 6-week Combined Filmmaking and Digital Filmmaking learn both film and digital video formats (NY and LA only).

• In all digital and filmmaking workshops, students edit digitally using digital editing software.

• Students in the Acting for Film Workshops will be in front of the camera in class and on location. Class material and projects with be shot on digital video.

• Animation students will work on Maya software.

• Screenwriting students have access to Final Draft in our computer labs.

• In the advanced filmmaking camps, students shoot with an HDSLR camera (open only to graduate of Three, Four, or Six-Week Film Camps.

SUpErviSionAt all New York Film Academy camps, the primary concern of our staff is the safety and well being of our students. All New York Film Academy High School workshops are fully supervised programs. High school students are overseen by co-ed teaching and counseling staff. Counselors reside in dormitories or hotel residences with non-commuting students. Please note: with the exception of field trips and other supervised excursions, resident students will not be allowed to leave campus without prior written permission from a parent or legal guardian. For more details about supervision and freedoms at a specific location, please see the Locations section and Rules and Regulations section of this brochure.

TEAcHinG STAffIn all our locales, our eclectic faculty are experienced instructors and professional filmmakers and actors who have Master of Fine Arts degrees from the most prestigious graduate film schools in the United States including NYU, Columbia University, USC, AFI, UCLA & Chapman University; and bachelor degrees from elite colleges including Harvard, Stanford and Brown Universities.

20

DAilY ScHEDUlESAll of our summer programs for high school students and tweens are full-time programs for the duration of the course. While the curriculum is consistent at our various locations, the actual schedule of daily classes will vary from location to location.

• In our filmmaking and digital filmmaking workshops (other than 1-week Workshops), students typically will be in class for half a day and shooting for half a day. After every shooting period, a portion of one day or more is reserved for post-production editing. In One-week Workshops, students generally have classes on day one and two, and go into production on day three and four. Day five is reserved for post-production.

• Acting students will have similar schedules to the filmmakers in which a portion of their days are class hours and the remaining portions are spent on location in productions.

Sample schedules for the acting and filmmaking workshops can be found in their respective sections in this brochure.

• Animation and Screenwriting students have classes that are often preceded or followed by a lab period during which they apply the information they are learning in class to the projects they are creating.

21

finAl ScrEEninGSIn all of our filmmaking, digital filmmaking, acting and animation workshops, students celebrate the completion of their program at a final screening of their work. With the exception of our one-week programs, these screenings are open to family and friends. Each student in every workshop will receive a certificate.

EXpEriEncE AnD BEnEfiTSAll students will learn an enormous amount in a short time. High School students who complete their programs will be provided with ample knowledge and experience to decide whether to continue their creative studies through college and beyond. High school students interested in fields such as painting and photography will learn that a filmmaker must have an eye for composition and light and shadow. Students with interests in the theater arts will receive invaluable experience learning how to create truthful performances.

porTfolioStudents may use any one, or all, of the projects they complete in a portfolio of their work. This portfolio may serve as an excellent addition to college applications. Many undergraduate film or arts programs will request examples of an applicant’s work.

filM AnD AcTinG cAMp coUnSElorSQuality adult supervision of the New York Film Academy High School Camps is our highest concern. All of our high school workshops are fully supervised. Our counselors are 21 years and older, and many have their undergraduate degrees in filmmaking or acting.

Our counselors have a responsibility to assure, to the best of their ability, the safety of all our students. Counselors reside in the dormitories or the hotel in rooms adjacent to the students depending on the location. Generally, there is one counselor room on each floor of student residences. Counselors who are trained in either filmmaking or acting or animation, may serve as teaching assistants during class time and/or film shoots.

rUlES and EGUlATionSr

22

rESiDEncEStudents reside in dormitories, hotels, and residential apartment complexes depending on the New York Film Academy location. Dining facilities are offered at all of our U.S. locations except New York City; at our overseas locations, our students choose from local eateries and may cook their own meals. Housing is either on campus or conveniently located to our classroom facilities depending on the location. Students will spend the majority of their day in class and/or on shoots on campus with their instructors or teaching assistants.

Students are required to pick up after themselves in the common areas. Students will be responsible for any damage done to property.

High School students are not allowed to enter the adult dormitories under any circumstances.

frEE TiMEStudent’s individual freedoms to explore a city, campus, or location attractions without the presence of a counselor vary depending on the workshop location. For more information on freedoms and supervision at a specific location, please see the Locations section of this brochure. Please note, the New York Film Academy reserves the right to add or amend rules specific to any or all locations. Such additions or changes would be clearly outlined for students upon arrival at camp or during their stay.

SAfETY rUlESThe following are rules that must be observed at all New York Film Academy Workshops:

• Attendance in all classes is mandatory.

• Students must obey curfews.

• Drugs and alcohol are strictly prohibited. Students found with drugs or alcohol in their possession will be immediately expelled from the program at their and/or their parents’ expense. There will be no exceptions.

• Students may not get into another student’s car, and may not leave the camp site with any unauthorized individuals. Non-commuting students cannot leave the camp site without written permission from a parent or guardian. A parent must submit to the Film Academy in writing an authorization for a student to leave the workshop site alone or with an individual other than their parent, guardian or New York Film Academy staff person.

• In case of a medical emergency, students will be taken to the local hospital. We require that all students submit their medical insurance information prior to the workshop.

• Students are not permitted to fraternize with individuals attending camps other than the New York Film Academy.

cURRIcULUm FoR FILm & dIGITaL sUmmER camps

T he film camp is designed for people with little or no experience in making films. It is designed to arm students with

the skills and confidence needed to produce a well-told story with moving images. To fulfill this goal, the workshop concentrates on the fundamental elements of visual storytelling, which enable the participants to direct their own films.

During the programs, each weekday is split between in-class instruction and on-set production. Weekends are reserved for writing, relaxation, and supervised group activities.

The following subjects are taught to be of immediate and practical use in an integrated curriculum. In our longer workshops (three, four and six week) these subjects will be treated in greater detail and taken to a higher level than in the shorter programs. Each day, students apply the lessons learned directly to the films they are making. Students in longer programs make more films and, therefore, have more opportunities to develop their abilities and employ what they have learned.

• DirectingStudents will be introduced to the language and practice of filmmaking. They will discuss shooting plans for their film projects and screen their work with their instructor throughout the course.

Directing is approached as the art of visual storytelling. Students will find that directing the camera concerns more than just where to place the camera. Through hands-on demonstrations, the students will learn how camera movement, visual arrangement and editing patterns not only depict the action but express the underlying drama.

Each student directs a series of films in crews of four. Students also rotate in these crews among the principal film crew positions. Crews are required to meet each week with the directing instructor to review scripts and shooting plans.

• WritingStudents will learn to take a story from initial idea, through treatment and step outline, to a finished script for their final film. Story structure, theme, character, tension, and conflict will be explored as they are used in filmmaking.

• HAnDS-On cAMerAThis is a no-nonsense camera class where students will learn to use the Arriflex 16mm film camera (NY and LA only) or a HD digital video camera, depending on their choice of workshop. They will learn proper loading, operation, and maintenance of the camera. In the first week, students will shoot and screen tests for focus, exposure, lens perspective, film latitude, slow/fast motion, and contrast. Any students needing extra instruction are given review sessions as necessary.

• HAnDS-On LigHting (4 & 6-Week Workshops Only)Our lighting classes are not abstract lessons in technology. Through lighting and shooting exercises in class, students will discover what techniques can help them tell their stories. Students immediately learn safe and proper operation of the movie lights. The following subjects will be covered through hands-on experience in camera and lighting class:

THE liGHTinG pAcKAGEThe lighting package has been designed by the NYFA to meet the needs of students’ productions. The kit combines portability with lighting needs: it is small enough to be portable by foot, yet provides enough power to create a well-lit interior scene within a reasonable amount of time.

To cite some examples of films that were lit with simple, portable packages, often less sophisticated than the kits we employ at NYFA:

soUND DEsigNIn the Six-Week Film camp, students learn to incorporate voice-over and music into their final film projects. Students will have access to an extensive library of sound effects and sound recording equipment.

crEWsevery class is divided up into crews of four. While one student directs, every other student in the crew works in a supportive capacity to make that project a success. Students obtain invaluable experience on set by rotating among four principal production positions:

• Writer/Director• Director of Photography• Assistant Camera• Editor (of the film you wrote and directed)

Students learn in all crew positions. By getting behind the camera, students sharpen their eyes for composition. By taking responsibility for the lights, they practice how light and shadow affect the film. Working in the various crew positions builds understanding and respect for the collaborative nature of the medium, and is thus absolutely essential for success ful work as a director.

steven spielberg, directorFilm – AmblinNo dolly shots and used only reflectors.

stanley Kubrick, directorFilm – A Clockwork OrangeUsed a Lowel Kit for 90% of the interiors.

nick gomez, directorFilm – Laws of Gravityshot in only ten days; a feat allowed through the use of portable lighting kits, bounce boards, and practical light bulbs.

26

eric rohmer, directorFilm – Pauline at the BeachUsed a Lowel soft light kit and a crew of four in only 14 days.

adam davidson, directorFilm – The Lunch DateAn Oscar-winning short, shot primarily with available light and a simple lighting package.

Through the film crew experience, students develop friendships that extend beyond the end of the camp, and often result in collaboration in the future.

AssigNmENTsThe faculty designed the following exercises as building blocks for a solid foundation in filmmaking. They are intended to instill in each student a degree of confidence in visual storytelling and to provide a basic understanding of the film craft. Depending on the length of the camp, each student will complete from one to four of these projects.

Those new to filmmaking will begin to understand how the disciplines of writing, directing, cinematography, and editing work together to equal much more than the sum of their parts. All students should seize the opportunity to experiment freely in order to develop their ability to engage and entertain an audience.

• Each One Week student directs one film.

• Each Three Week student directs two films.

• Each Four Week student directs three films.

• Each Six Week student directs four films.

27

fiLM 1: the shot

In the first film, students are introduced to the

art of visual storytelling. Once they create a

dramatic moment, they concentrate on the

dynamics of the shot which will best express it.

This assignment introduces the student to

composition, angle and lens, movement, and

interaction between characters. Students

become familiar with the camera and light meter

for consistent focus and exposures. Beginning

with a storyboard, each person writes, directs,

shoots, edits digitally, and screens a film of up to

two minutes.

(This is the only project completed in the One-

Week Movie Camp.)

fiLM 2: the Cut

Continuity is one of the fundamental

principles of modern filmmaking. By making a

“continuity film,” students learn the way cuts

can advance the story while sustaining the

reality of the scene. They learn the difference

between “film time” and “real time.”

Students are challenged to make a film that

maintains continuity in story, time, and space.

The action in these films unfolds utilizing a variety

of shots (10-15) in a continuous sequence (no

disorienting jumps in time or action). Students

must produce a clear, visual scene while

maintaining the truthfulness of the moment. It is

essential that the audience believe in the reality

of the scene. Students write, direct, shoot, edit

digitally, and screen a film of up to three minutes.

fiLM 3: MusiC & iMage

The third film introduces students to the

relationship between sound and film, as well

as to narrative tools like montage and jump

cuts. In this project, students are encouraged

to explore a more personal language of the art.

Each student begins with a short continuous

selection of music. In the editing room they

cut their images to work in concert with,

or in counterpoint to, the sound. Students

may experiment with rhythm and pacing.

Each student writes, directs, shoots, edits

digitally, and screens a film of up to four

minutes. (This is the final project for Three &

Four-Week students)

fiLM 4: finaL fiLM

Six-Week FiLM cAMp OnLy

Each student produces, writes, directs, shoots,

and edits a film on a subject of his or her

own choice, whether music video, narrative,

documentary or experimental, of up to six

minutes in length. Students may use sound

effects, music, voice-over and ambient sound

to help tell their stories. Students incorporate

the elements and skills learned from the first

three exercises on their final films. This project

may be shot on 16mm film (NY or LA only) or

digital video.

A final screening will be a unique opportunity

for family, friends, and cast to see the work

students have produced in the High School

Summer Film Camp. Upon successful

completion of the course, students receive

a diploma.

T he Four-Week Summer Film camp is one of our most popular workshops; ideal for providing students with a thorough introduction to the foundations of film craft. The

one-month length of the program fits easily into most students’ summer schedules. This is a full-time program: students must make a serious commitment to its completion.

FormATThe four-week program is structured around the production of three short films of increasing complexity. Students attend class either in the morning or afternoon monday through Friday, and shoot their films with supervision during the other half of each day. Weekends are reserved for writing, relaxation, and organized trips and activities.Each student writes, directs, shoots and edits three short films of his or her own using Arriflex S 16mm cameras. Hands-on classes in directing, writing, editing, cinematography, and production cover all the creative and technical demands of telling a story with moving images. Each week all the students’ films are screened and critiqued in class with the instructor.

crEWsevery week is devoted to writing, producing, directing, and editing a different film project. The first film focuses on the art of the shot; the second on continuity. These projects culminate in a third film of up to four-minutes with a music track.

Students work in four-person crews to complete each film. Every student directs three films. When their colleagues direct, students rotate in each crew among the key crew positions (director of photography, assistant camera, and editor).

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.

sTUDENTsThe Four Week camp attracts a diverse, international group of students who share a passion for telling stories through moving images. (One entering class included students from Germany, Denmark, France, Brazil, Japan, canada, and mexico, russia, Australia, South Africa, UAe, egypt, Poland, england, chile as well as students from every region of the United States.)

each class is limited in size. The compressed length of the course and the subsequent, focused level of collaboration required inevitably brings classes and crews close together. Students must rely on each other’s skills to complete these films in four weeks. The experience is sometimes exhausting, but always rewarding.

The combination of non-stop collaborative work, the mix of diverse cultures and experiences, a shared passion for film, and the opportunities afforded by the various summer locales make the workshop an intensely enriching experience.

I n most locations, the New York Film Academy offers a second summer session of three week film camp. This three week camp is film school distilled to its essence.

You will experience each aspect of the filmmaking process from creating the story to screening your finished film for an audience.

Students in this workshop may not be able to

participate in all of 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, creating

storyboards, and rehearsing.

Tuition includes all classes and use of the HDSLR,

program. Tuition does not include any additional

production expenses that may arise from a student’s

script. Such expenses may include costumes, props and

craft services. The Film Academy encourages students to

minimize any additional expenses, but cannot guarantee

that, as a result of the student’s choices, additional

expenses will not be incurred.

students should bring a hard drive of 250 gB or larger.

I n the advanced 6-Week, 4-Week and 3-Week

Workshops students take the next creative and

technical steps in their filmmaking. Each student

will direct and edit a short film of approximately 6-8

minutes for the 6-week, 4-6 minutes for the 4-week

and 2-4 minutes for the 3-week, shot on an HDSLR.

Prior to starting the program, students must submit a

short script of three to six pages that they will direct

during the workshop. Scripts can include dialogue,

although visual storytelling will be encouraged. 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 give students the opportunity to explore

the possibilities and characteristics of the HDSLR and

help them prepare for their own projects. Advanced

camera, sound, lighting and grip equipment will be

introduced that is not a part of NYFA’s introductory

programs. These new tools will help students advance

both their technical and storytelling skills.

In Production Workshop classes, students will shoot

camera and lighting tests, as well as a short scene to

review the conventions of film coverage. During the third

week of the course, students will go into production.

Working in crews of four with an instructor, each

student will have one to two production days. When

not directing, students rotate in the roles of Director of

Photography, Assistant Camera, Sound Operator and

Gaffer. The final week of the program (final two weeks

for the 6-week program) will be spent on digital editing

and sound design. At the conclusion of the workshop,

students will celebrate with a final screening for cast,

crew, family, and invited guests.

Taught by instructors with tremendous hands-on experience and training from the nation’s elite film schools – NYU, USC, UCLA, and the AFI, one-week students will eat, drink and breathe movie making. All students enrolling in the One-Week Digital movie camp should be aware that this is an introductory course. The limitations of a one-week course should be apparent, given that many people spend years studying film and perfecting their craft. each student will complete a short exercise to be screened at the conclusion of the workshop. Students may take One-Week movie camp and One-Week Acting camp in two consecutive weeks.

As in all of the New York Film Academy filmmaking workshops, students will have the opportunity to write, direct, shoot and edit.

In today’s market, no band or recording artist puts out an album without an engaging music video. The video should capture the style, essence and music of the band, and many bands use videos as calling cards to get gigs and major label interest.

With this in mind, the New York Film Academy has specially designed the One-Week music Video camp, taught by music video directors in a hands-on program of total immersion. The curriculum is designed for people with little or no experience in making music videos.

coUrsE oVErViEW AND cUrricUlUmFrom day one, students are fully immersed in the various facets of directing music videos. By the end of the course, each student edits his or her own version of a short music video subject that was conceived, produced, and shot by the class as a group.

The music Video camp students may make a video for an up and coming band or shoot highly stylistic footage for an already published song.

Students are taught the most essential elements of what goes into making a music video, including: choosing the right band and the right song, creatively visualizing the look of the video and its overall aesthetic style, planning the music video in storyboards, learning how to shoot and keep the film in sync with the lyrics and beat, on-set shooting techniques, pacing and editing.

The program begins with two days of intensive study in music video style, shooting and editing techniques. During this time there will be an in class play back demonstration. This will prepare students for the class project, which they will shoot in the middle of the week.

The end of the week will be devoted to post-production during which each student will edit his or her own version of the music video using the material shot by the group.

N o matter how beautiful the cinematography or impressive the special effects in a film,

audiences are drawn in by the struggles of the characters on screen. On set, as dozens of crew members whirl about, twelve kilowatt lights bore into the actor’s eyes; focus tape is pulled to the actor’s cheek, and “Action!” is finally called, the actor is still expected to give a believable and moving performance.

In acknowledgment of the importance of the film actor’s job, and in support of the skills required to do the job brilliantly, the New York Film Academy is proud to offer its Acting for Film camps. These hands-on summer workshops are held in locales both in the United States and abroad.

FormATThe camps are intensive and require a complete commitment on the part of the student. The four-week and three-week camps are designed for students with little or no experience. classes are held monday through Friday. As part of their summer camp experience, students take part in organized evening and weekend activities including screenings, and local field trips.

Students participate in a broad array of core classes that introduce them to finding the actor within, while simultaneously training their instrument to do the kind of technical, emotional, and physical work necessary for film acting. Each course concentrates on developing a foundation of acting using training techniques for theater and film, while our primary focus is on screen acting.

Our Acting for Film camps are often integrated with our Filmmaking camps, providing many one-of-a-kind advantages for the acting student interested in working in front of the camera. While the acting students are training, the film students are busy writing scripts and learning the technical aspects of directing. Whenever possible, the acting students are given the experience of acting on a live set in front of the camera on the filmmakers’ shooting exercises and student film productions.

The following subjects are taught in an integrated curriculum. In our longer programs these subjects are treated in greater detail and taken to a higher level than in the shorter programs. each day, students apply the lessons learned directly to scenes and monologues they are developing.

class Descriptions• SCEnE STuDyWorking on scenes from published plays and screenplays allows actors to learn all of the basic concepts of approaching a scene: defining objectives, breaking the scene down into beats, understanding the arc, pursuing an objective, playing actions, and working to overcome obstacles.

• ACTIng FOR FILM Students learn the basics of film acting: calibrating performances based upon shot size and angle, hitting marks, emotional and physical continuity, and strength and imagination in acting choices. Students are assigned scenes from produced screenplays, which are then shot with a crew and edited together.

• MOvEMEnTAn actor’s movement must be tuned to perform expertly whenever and however needed. movement classes focus on breaking down inhibitions, building ensemble spirit, and providing the necessary tools to bring physical dimension to all of his or her roles.

• vOICEStudents gain insight into the power of their voices and learn how to nurture and control their voices by exercising various resonators and muscles, which enables them to release emotional impulses. In addition to breath work, classes focus on singing, relaxation, phrasing, and posture as a way of supporting and developing the actor’s instrument.

• imProVisATioN (Three & Four-Week camps only)Through games and exercises, students learn how to let their imaginations run free, how to play well with others, and how to live “in the moment”—free from anticipating or planning what to do next.

42

• MOnOLOguES (Three & Four-Week camps only) Screenplays oftentimes incorporate monologues into their dramatic structures, but more importantly actors must learn the self-discipline to work individually, without relying on a scene partner for inspiration. Techniques include: choosing monologues that are truthful, meaningful, and revealing, performing script analysis on monologues, staging and directing oneself, and developing both outer and inner focal points.

• ACTIng TECHnIquEActing teachers throughout the ages have developed many different techniques for teaching the craft to aspiring actors. Since actors oftentimes are required to draw from many facets of their training to meet the demands of a role or a director, this class draws from a range of techniques which may include “meisner Technique,” “the method,” and other variations on Stanislavski’s “System.” This eclectic approach helps actors best prepare for any role they are given to play.

• FILM CRAFT We feel it is crucial that an actor develops strong collaborative skills by gaining a working knowledge of the film medium and how each member of a film crew contributes to making an actor’s performance shine. Therefore, we provide all of our students with master classes taught by the NYFA Filmmaking faculty who give a broad outline of the mechanics, language, and production of film.

• AuDITIOn TECHnIquE (Three & Four-Week camps only)The ability to audition well is not only critical if you want to embark upon an acting career, but it is also a skill that can help you develop your confidence and technique. This class focuses on making strong acting choices with little or no preparation as well as bringing your “best self” to the audition room. Other topics may include preparing a resume, selecting a headshot, and pursuing a career. casting sessions may be held with NYFA Filmmaking students to give students an opportunity to participate in ‘live’ auditions.

T his one-week camp is a hands-on intensive introduction to acting for film. It offers a selection of classes designed

to expose students to the key elements required for effective on-camera acting.

oFFErED iN ThE sUmmErThe Acting for Film camps are held several times every summer at numerous locations both in the United States and abroad, typically housed at top-rated institutions of higher learning or notable film studio locations. Please see the locations section for a detailed description.

coUrsE oVErViEW & cUrricUlUmThe pace of the one-week course is feverish and demanding, and students should be prepared to live, eat and breathe acting for the entire duration of the course. Students should also be prepared to work in non-traditional acting classes emphasizing the construction and control of character given the unique pressures of a film or television shoot. Film or video cameras may be used during particular classes.

From day one, our students are immersed in the how’s and why’s of acting for film. Teachers introduce students to the following topics through in-class exercises:

• Acting for Film - Working in front of the lens; hitting marks; emotional/physical continuity; creating fresh performances with each take.

• Acting Technique - Acting truthfully; working moment-to-moment.

• Scene Study - Breaking down a scene; defining objectives; developing a character through action.

• Movement/Voice - Understanding the usage of physical and vocal tools.

• Film Craft - Defining the nuts and bolts of how films get made.

Please see the Acting for Film Curriculum for a detailed description.

WorkshoP goAlThe intensive One-Week Acting for Film Workshop was designed to serve the needs of different types of students. For students contemplating a longer-term education in acting for film, it is an excellent introduction. For beginners, this one-week course gives students an understanding of the rigorous requirements of the film actor.

many of our one-week students get “bitten by the acting bug” during our workshops. They realize that one week will not fulfill their desire to learn all they can about the craft of acting and therefore return to complete a longer course of study.

All students enrolling in the Intensive One-Week Acting for Film Workshop should be aware that this is an introductory course. The limitations of a one-week course should be apparent, given that many people spend years studying and perfecting their craft.

T he New York Film Academy’s classes for high school students are located at the beautiful

Battery Park campus in downtown manhattan. The school is easily accessible to the rest of the city, and steps away from the heart of the bustling financial district.

sUPErVisioNHigh school students reside at the John Street residence located on John Street in lower manhattan. The John Street residence is monitored 24/7 by doorman security. Students live in fully-furnished rooms. rooms include LCD-TV/DVD units with cable, refrigerator, microwave, internet line, air-conditioning and private bathroom.

The John Street residence is a large facility, and the Film Academy makes every attempt to keep all of our students on the same floors. Counselors live on each floor with our students and enforce a strict curfew. The housing arrangement is something parents may want to discuss with their child before the summer, as it requires a certain level of maturity and responsibility on the student’s part to be accountable for obeying all the rules set forth.

NEW yoRK cITyBreakfast foods are supplied for each room - milk, OJ, cereal, frozen waffles, bread, bagels, and fruit, so students can prepare their own morning meal. Students must purchase lunches and dinners at restaurants or markets in the surrounding environs of the housing and school facilities. Therefore, students do have the ability to roam freely to patronize establishments in these areas.

Students are escorted on foot or via public transportation to and from the John Street Residence/NYFA classroom facilities for class and/or shooting. Students shoot on location in New York city in crews of 3-4 students and are always supervised by Teaching Assistants during these productions.

Saturday activities are mandatory for housed students and include daylong trips within the five boroughs typically to New York city attractions, outdoor screenings, museums, and amusement parks. New York Film Academy counselors living at the John Street residence plan and supervise these outings. In case of medical emergency, students are taken to the nearest hospital.

Please note: Parents who wish to allow their children to leave the residence or campus without supervision must submit a written authorization to the New York Film Academy. However, even with permission, excursions without supervision may still be limited as determined by NYFA staff.

SuperviSionStudents reside at the Oakwood Corporate Housing complex. The entire property is gated and there is a 24-hour guard at the entrance to the property. For a virtual tour of this Oakwood property: www.oakwoodtoluca.com

While our students are supervised, please note that Oakwood is a very large property and a certain amount of maturity is required of resident campers. Students and the counselors who supervise them are spread out across the property. This is not a dormitory arrangement where everyone resides on the same hall or floor.

NYFA staff perform nightly curfew checks in person and maintain a 24-hour counselor hotline number. Oakwood housing has 24-hour security on foot and golf cart, so someone is always reachable and just a minute or two away. Students are required to commit to and follow the rules and regulations sent out in advance and reviewed at Orientation. Violation of these rules can result in expulsion from housing and the program.

sUPErVisioNStudents reside in Harvard dormitories which are a short walk from their dining and classroom facilities in the Memorial/Lowell Hall Complex. Students spend the majority of their day in class and/ or on shoots on campus with their instructors or teaching assistants.

Following class, when time allows students have the ability to roam freely on campus and patronize establishments in Harvard Square and the surrounding urban environment. Students must inform their counselor of their destinations in Harvard Square and they must adhere to our Buddy System — no student is allowed to roam alone. Although students may explore the Square they must stay within a certain radius of Harvard campus proper. That radius is clearly outlined at the onset of the program.

If any parent requires that their child not be permitted to explore Harvard Square without a counselor, please contact the Film Academy and we will make the necessary arrangements.

Saturday activities are mandatory for housed students and include daylong trips. counselors attend and supervise these outings. Additional activities take place nearly every weeknight and on Sundays as well.

paRIs, frAncENaTIoNaL FILm scHooL in parisLa Fémis is located in the historic Pathé Studios in the 18th arrondissement (district). It provides us with spacious classrooms, meeting spaces, shooting space, state of the art screening rooms, and most important, a student lounge with an excellent café au lait machine. The High School student residence, La Residence Montmartre is a short walk from our school. It is a three-star hotel which offers comfortable apartments with cable, internet, maid service, and daily continental breakfast delivered to the room. The other great neighborhoods, museums, and sites of Paris are easily accessible from montmartre.

sUPErVisioNNew York Film Academy counselors live in the Residence, generally one counselor on each floor, as does the Director of the Program. counselors do a nightly room-check, and enforce a strict nightly curfew. No one other than New York Film Academy High School staff and students are allowed in the students’ hotel rooms, and students are forbidden to go into rooms occupied by anyone other than NYFA High School Students. These rules are strictly monitored and enforced for students’ safety. keys are left at the front desk when students leave the residence, and are given out only to the students occupying the rooms.

With prior written permission from parents, students are permitted to leave the residence or the campus of La Fémis in groups of two or more. Additionally, students are required to sign in and out with their counselors and must indicate where they will be and when they will return. We highly recommend students purchase or rent a French mobile telephone or chip card in order to be in contact with family and staff at all times.

If any parent requires that their child not be permitted to walk between the residence and the classrooms without a chaperone, please contact the Film Academy and we will make the necessary arrangements. counselors lead the students to and from the classrooms the first week; however, they generally travel to and from class in groups without a staff member after the first week.

Though France is renowned for its fine wine, we strictly enforce our no alcohol, no drugs policy both on and off the campus and residency. Should the need arise for medical care, arrangements can be made for an english speaking doctor to come to the residence, and The American Hospital is staffed with top rate english speaking medical staff. ctudent productions take place throughout Paris and are done in the presence of a teaching assistant. evening and weekend activities in and around Paris are organized and supervised by the Film Academy staff.

FooDWhile continental breakfast is served to our students’ rooms at the montmartre residence, a conventional meal plan would be blasphemous in our Paris location. Finding your favorite crêperie or the best steak au poivre in your neighborhood is one of the great pleasures and learning experiences of living in Paris. Haute-cuisine and economical eats are to be found on every block of the food capital of the world. Students should budget $20–$35 a day for lunch, dinner, and pastries.

I n Florence, the New York Film Academy workshops provide a stimulating educational experience that draws upon the rich cultural resources of both past and present Italy.The New York Film Academy has been invited by the government of Tuscany to hold our

summer workshops in a renovated renaissance era building in the center of the city, moments away from the Duomo itself.

sUPErVisioNHigh School students in our Florence program reside in the quiet, 3-star Hotel Liana, in the heart of Florence. Qualified counselors who reside in the hotel with the students carefully supervise students. Transportation to and from school is arranged in advance and students travel in pairs or groups morning and afternoon, which is also arranged by the counselors.

Parents have the option of signing a permission waiver, which allows students to explore the city of Florence without adult supervision. However, even if students have such permission, they must still report to a counselor with their destination and scheduled time of return. This is very important, otherwise the parental permission is not considered valid.

A strict curfew is enforced at Hotel Liana and each room is checked every night by counselors who are always available and minutes away at all times.

On weekends students partake in organized activities. With staff and counselors, students may visit an off-site location such as the Uffizi museum or the nearby Fiesole, a ruined roman town. Some out of town excursions, completely supervised and lasting no more than one day, are also arranged, such as a day trip to see the highlights of rome.

If medical attention becomes necessary, there are a number of hospitals and emergency clinics in Florence with practitioners and specialists who speak english, German and French, and our counselors will escort a student immediately to one of these facilities. We require all students submit their medical insurance information prior to the start of the workshop.

In Florence, NYFA students visit sights such as the Duomo, where many of michelangelo’s most wondrous works are housed. The cathedral museum also includes in its collection some of the finest examples of Renaissance art found anywhere in the world, including work by Donatello and Leonardo da Vinci.

FooDA school cafeteria allows students to eat inexpensively. The streets of Florence are dotted with restaurants and cafés, so everyone should find something to their taste. You can reasonably expect to spend under $30 per day on food. eating in restaurants can be more expensive.

INTRODUCTORY ACTINGThis course emphasizes the basic elements of the craft of acting for film using fundamental acting technique and scene study as starting points. Students participate in in-class shoots aimed specifically at training the actor for the technical requirements of acting on a film set. Every student shares the same curriculum. Some additional time may be scheduled for productions as needed.

Classes encourage students to break down physical and internal inhibitions, and help each student find the most effective personal sources for the creation of truthful characters. Students should be prepared to work in non-traditional acting classes emphasizing the construction of and control of character given the unique pressure of a film or television shoot. Video

cameras are used during class time.

Students develop the techniques and confidence they need to create believable performances for the camera. They apply what they learn to a series of on camera exercises designed to develop their screen acting ability.

Students in the Two-Week Camp perform in a film scene that is taped, edited and screened for a live audience.

Students in the Two-Week Summer Camp Program who enroll in only the first week do not act in the student productions but receive all the fundamental acting instruction.

INTERMEDIATE FILMMAKINGDesigned expressly for graduates of the Academy’s

Tween Filmmaking program, this intermediate

course offers students the opportunity to take the

next creative and technical step in filmmaking.

Students develop, pre-produce and create a longer

and more complex project than that completed in

the beginner program. Closer attention is paid to

set and costume design, locations, shot choices

and coverage, as well as additional crew roles.

The finished product is a film of up to 5 minutes.

Classes focus on topics including digital

cinematography, screenwriting, editing practice

and aesthetics, and directing for cinema.

3D ANIMATION CAMPIn this hands-on animation class for tweens, students focus

on the art of character animation. We cover Disney’s 12

principles of animation and how these principles still apply to

today’s computer animation. Students are instructed in classic

animation exercises, such as pitching a ball and swinging a

hammer to learn squash and stretch, weight and muscle

tension, overlapping action, anticipation and follow through.

In the second week, students write and animate their own

story using our rigged characters and sets. They complete the

workshop with Quicktime movies of their project.

WEEk 1• 12 Principles of Animation

in-depth production. Students may shoot the

final project on location or in a closed set at the

Film Academy.

While students are introduced to specific acting

techniques and exercises as they apply to

acting for the camera, classes primarily focus on

rehearsal and preparation for the final project.

T he Two-Week Filmmaking Camp and Acting

NEW YORK CITYThe New York Film Academy’s classes for tweens

are located at the Dwight School on 18 West 89th

Street, uptown Manhattan. Film shoots - student,

commercial, and Hollywood - abound in New York.

Simply by volume alone, New York is indisputably

the greatest center of independent film production

in the world. Like many filmmakers, novelists,

playwrights, and painters, our students find that

New York itself helps shape their artistic vision. The

city is not only a setting for their stories, but also

an active element in the lives of their characters.

TWEEN LOCATIONSNEW YORK CITY & LOS ANGELES, CA

NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY AT LOS ANGELESUniversal Studios, located in the heart of

Hollywood, is the largest operating movie studio in

the world. This city has perfect weather, a vibrant

and culturally diverse population, and inseparable

ties to the film industry. From Hollywood, Malibu,

and Westwood to China-town and the Sunset

Strip, Los Angeles lives up to its billing.

Universal Studios sprawls over 415 acres of

offices, interior sound stages and outside movie

sets. Arrangements have been made with Universal

Studios to shoot our in-class production exercises

on their prestigious and widely used backlot, a

landscape literally made up of the neighborhoods

of the world. Driving around the lot, one alternately

happens across a dusty Mexican villa, an imposing

Roman square, a New York alley straight from the

1930s and a street whose saloons and wooden

sidewalks harken back to the Wild West. Nearby

one passes multiple lakes, an old New England

street, and a Renaissance courtyard. New York

Film Academy students have the opportunity to

direct on these same sets.

The New York Film Academy opens the studio’s

doors to the filmmakers-to-be of the world. Rather

than being on the outside of the gates, peering in

like tourists, students live and breathe filmmaking

within the very heart of the action.

One-yeAr FiLMMAkingThe Academy’s One-Year Filmmaking Program gives students the all-around filmmaking experience necessary to make their own films. Students receive over 1,000 hours of hands-on instruction and actual production experience. They all write, shoot, direct, and edit eight of their own short films (including a minithesis sync-sound film). They shoot projects on 16mm film, 35mm film, and digital and HD formats.

WHaT Is a “Gap yEaR?”The Gap Year has a long history in England and Europe where young people took a year before going to places like Oxford or Cambridge to find themselves and broaden their horizons. It is rapidly catching on in the United States where many high school graduates are looking for intelligent alternatives to going straight to college. It is really a period of time, anything from a month to a year during which you can focus on things that you wouldn’t normally do and develop your experience of the world. It’s a time to get away from the day to day, whether that’s at school, at work, or at home and have the freedom to fulfill a dream.

The New York Film Academy One-Year Programs and its shorter summer camps can give you a unique “gap experience” overseas or in one of our locations in the United States. A Gap Year making films or studying acting helps students discover themselves and establish a sense of their own identity.

One-yeAr ActingDesigned equally for beginning actors as well as those with experience, our Acting for Film School programs provide actors with modern on-camera acting techniques plus a foundation of acting training rooted in time-honored theatrical traditions. The best way to learn how to act in films is to actually act in films. Our students begin acting in front of the camera from the first week of the program. Every week, students get the opportunity to practice the techniques and skills they have gained in class with exercises that are shot and reviewed.

ONE YEAR PROGRAMS

One-yeAr MUSicAL tHeAtreStudents interested in musical theatre are able to study the various aspects of musical theatre craft to hone and perfect their skills with a seasoned Broadway level faculty. The program is designed for individuals with singing and movement abilities who may or may not have prior experience on a musical theatre stage.

One-yeAr BrOADcASt JOUrnALiSMThe New York Film Academy is training the next generation of journalists who are prepared to navigate the evolving landscape of broadcast journalism with a special emphasis on investigative reporting. This an intensive hands-on curriculum to address the pressing demand for skilled, can-do digital journalists on network television, cable, and the Internet.

One-yeAr prODUcingStudents eager to control their own destiny in the business world of film and television flourish in this intensive hands-on program. It is a dynamic, fast-paced program where students learn producing from concept to distribution. Covering the film and television industry from the Indie world to Hollywood and New Media, every student produces work and develops professional projects during the program.

Taking a Gap year

One-yeAr ScreenWritingStudents are fully immersed in the craft of screenwriting in an intensive focused course of study, where each student completes several drafts of a feature-length screenplay, one television spec script and two to three treatments by the end of the course.

One-yeAr 3D AniMAtiOnStudents get the opportunity to master the technical tools they need to do whatever they want to do in 3-D on Maya software. Each student completes a series of 3D projects including a final animated film of their own creation.

One-yeAr gAMe DeSignOur program teaches students to consider game design, not only as a technical pursuit, but as a storytelling art form. On day one of the program, our students are making games. Each student produces at least one game design, contributes to a real working video game as part of a class project, and chooses between a final project of game writing, art and graphics for games, or the creation of a mobile game app.

One-yeAr cineMAtOgrApHyWhile students at the New York Film Academy get the best hands-on technical training possible, they are challenged to be artists who paint with light. They must understand story, directing, acting, editing, and all the components that contribute to making a motion picture. Throughout the year students develop the artistic and technical skills of a Director of Photography using digital, 16mm, 35mm, HD, and RED Cameras.

WHEN To TaKE a “Gap yEaR?”A Gap Year can benefit you at many stages in your life. Taking “time-off” can be an extraordinary and valuable experience after you graduate from high school, during college, after graduating college, as a break from your profession, or as part of the process of exploring a new career. Traditionally a Gap Year is time taken away from education either between high school and college or immediately after college, but in fact it is best taken at any crucial time in your life when you need to try something new, to refresh your creative, intellectual, and spiritual outlook.

WHy TaKE a “Gap yEaR?”A Gap Year helps young people grow and develop into well-rounded people who are aware of their place in the world and who can deal with whatever life throws at them. It is an opportunity for everyone to broaden their horizons, to learn to collaborate with people, to develop resourcefulness and to appreciate other cultures and attitudes. Many colleges value the maturity and focus of people who are more ready for university than those who go straight from high school, and who have already demonstrated a passion to pursue a dream and make it a reality. Employers value the life skills learned during a gap year; initiative, communication, decision-making, character growth, confidence and financial planning. Gap Year experiences are valuable to resumes whether a student goes on to further education or straight into the “real world.”Taking a break, be it a month or a year, from your routine of study or work takes courage and conviction. The New York Film Academy staff will make every effort to give you the support and encouragement that you need to have an incredibly rewarding and enriching “gap experience.”

One-yeAr pHOtOgrApHyPhotography students at New York Film Academy are immersed in the art and craft of still photography, mastering the tools and the skills necessary to capture great images and refine them through digital imaging.

returned to the Academy for additional study, and

used their learning once they enter the workplace.

dedication. Students need to be able to work with

others and be responsible to them, as film is a

collaborative art. The program attracts an eclectic

group of high school students. The age range is

14-17 years old. The academy offers daytime

programs for “Tweens” ages 10-13 in New York

City and Los Angeles.

undergraduate degree programs.

of immediate and practical use. Students work

hands-on with film or editing equipment nearly

every day of the workshop.
