Film School: What Do I Need To Enroll?

Hardware & Software Requirements

All you need to enroll in our course is a camera with video or film capabilities and a computer. Neither the camera or the computer needs to be the most advanced on the market. While you will learn about advanced equipment, it is only from a theoretical standpoint. We assume that most of our students have basic DV / HDV or Film cameras.

Likewise, you can have a PC or a MAC for video editing software purposes. We don't specialize in teaching about just one type of editing package. We use both the default editing programs for editing in both PC and MAC and offer suggestions for other more advanced editing suites. However, no additional money needs to be spent on hardware or software.

As far as learning material goes, we provide it all. In order to keep the cost of our course low, we have fully digitized the learning material. All lessons can be accessed online in the student HUB. The student HUB is the community where you can download lecture notes, watch instruction videos and submit your assignments for review and critique in our student community.
