The Aboriginal Digital Filmmaking (ADF) program allows students to choose either a 21 week citation program or a 42 week certificate designation. The ADF Citation program prepares participants for entry-level employment or for roles in the film and television industry. The program offers hands-on immersion in filmmaking, using the latest in digital camera and computer editing technology. Practicum training further develops real world skills and professional practice in industry workplaces. Guest speakers who are specialists in their field provide in-depth knowledge of sound, lighting, aesthetics, job skills and several related topics. A screening of individual and group projects is held at the end of the program.
The certificate program offers additional background in film studies and scriptwriting from an Aboriginal perspective. Students have the opportunity to produce their own film project to demonstrate competence in at least three key roles: producer, director, writer, camera operator, director of photography or digital editor. The advanced practicum offers industry mentoring in a pre-production, production or post-production specialty. |
