1. A constant shift between traditional class teaching, practical exercises and film production.
This offers you theoretical knowledge of film production as well as the chance to actually practice everything you learn in class. In terms of teaching, each course period consist of app. 25 teaching hours per week – and in terms of film production, our students produce more than 100 short films together during the programme.
2. The fact that students cannot pick a specific field of study, but are forced to dive into at least 3 different fields of filmmaking.
On one side, this allows our students to explore their true talent (maybe your talent is actually editing, and not directing?) – and on the other side, knowing more about other fields of filmmaking will make you better at your preferred field.
The camera course at EFC offers all the building blocks of basic camera operation work. In all classes, theory will alternate with practical work.
Most often, you will work in groups of two students, sharing a camera and helping each other to learn the location and function of all the parts on the camera, train camera movements, work with focus pulling, and of course explore the endless possibilities of visual language!
After a camera course at EFC you should be able to: master the recording of correct images (exposure, contrast, color and focus), communicate with a director about the visual style of the film, plan and control the process of producing images for a short film production, and form the basic understanding of how film language works, seen from the picture side.
