    Description
    In this noncredit course students are introduced to the fundamentals of shooting motion pictures on actual film stock. Developed in collaboration with Kodak Film, this noncredit course covers the mechanical operation of film cameras, understanding various film types, and exploring the distinct aesthetic qualities film provides over digital formats. Students will gain hands-on experience loading, operating, and maintaining film cameras, as well as developing an appreciation for film workflows, aspect ratios, lighting techniques, and the influence of underrepresented groups in the filmmaking industry. Students will also be exposed to film scanning and will have the opportunity to digitize their film.
