Student Project: Dance & Music Videos

About the Project

A recent graduate of our film school decided to go and work for a company as a Director of Photography for a small film production company. They were responsible for conceptualizing music and dance video ideas and then recording them onto film. The student explains their experience below.

Student Perspective

After completing my 4 months at Lights Film School I started looking for work in the creative field. I really wanted to work with footage in some way. I love the process of visual story telling so I really wanted to work on my art from a filming or editing perspective. I got a job at a small production company and they hired me as a Director Of Photography (D.O.P.). While I didn't expect the position, I was more than thrilled to accept the offer.

Now I'm on contract with them to help them create various video projects they receive from clients. We have recently worked on music videos and dance videos and in the future are expending our reach into "how to" type of videos.

I usually start my morning meeting with the president of the company, and she tells me her vision for the shoot that week. Then we throw ideas back and forth until we are clear on a vision. At this point it's my responsibility to put our collective ideas onto film.

Because Lights Film School had such a strong creative and imaginative slant to the course learning I was able to start thinking much more vividly about interesting concepts, colors and themes. The result has been that I've been able to transport that vision from my head and put it onto film.

For those thinking about enrolling in Lights Film School I would highly recommend doing so. The course will have a huge positive impact on your life.
