Hello to anonymous!!!

Actually, our class time is devoted to lectures, demonstrations, screenings and equipment exercises. The design of this class is that you will have access to equipment and facilities on weekends for your group projects. This is one of the favorite aspects of the class becuase students have a GREAT deal of time for hands-on projects at locations and on USC stages on the weekends.

All the best, Erick Yates Green

According to the course description, students will be working with both digital and 16 and 35 mm film cameras. What percentage of the time will be spent on digital vs film and, within film, between 16 and 35. What sorts of cameras will be used? Will differences in lighting for film vs digital be explored? Is the cost of materials included?

Thanks-

Will there be an opportunity to shoot on 35mm? Will film be digitized for editing in Avid?
