It can be hard to put your finger on what makes a good film, but you know it when you see it. It is the combination of unique voice, the use of film craft and the artistic vision,” added Sterne.

This weekend is for low budget filmmakers, media teachers and students wanting to improve production values in their films and is aimed at “one man band” or small crews with little or no budget. You’ll learn how to move your camera using a wally dolly, steadicams such as the Merlin and the new Boombandit (which will be available to buy at the course for $295). Learn how to light expertly using a basic LED kit, improve sound by using an external audio recorder like the Zoom H4n. Using iPhones, GoPro’s and DSLR’s this hands-on, practical course will also introduce you to inexpensive, professional Final Cut Pro X editing. There will be a Canon 5D Mark III available to shoot with at the course, but participants are encouraged to bring and use their own iPhones, Android (phone) cameras or DSLR’s (and tripod if you have one) to experiment with the equipment demonstrated at the course. Participants can then take footage shot to edit in their own time. You will also get the latest information on high quality, low budget cameras, LED lights and small Steadicams. Most of the (budget) equipment we use will be available for hire or sale through Lemac if people want to “kit up” or improve their existing filmmaking tools. By the end of the weekend participants should be able to go out and shoot their own stories and make much better films with higher production values. Conducted by Con Filippidis Cinematographer (25th Reich, Hostage to Fate, Desire) and Marcus McLeod (GRIP and Boombandit Inventor). Participants are advised to book early to secure a place in this new and innovative course and accommodation is available on campus. Bookings via summerfilmschool. 0393475035 or 0402359047
