The ACL course helped me see my photographic series as a short film. To keep my audience engaged, all visual and guiding components of "the machine” need to be included to make it work.

 Welcome to Amsterdam's site for intensive short-term cinema production courses. 

Amsterdam Cinematography Lab is designed to help up-and-coming filmmakers make better movies by unlocking the potential of visual communication and artistry.  The short-term intensive courses explore the all-too-often ignored middle area between Theory and hands-on Mechanics in order to define the most effective practices in reaching audiences on an emotional level.

 

With lessons in mastering camera operating, lighting for movement, audio, narrative structure, and visual grammar, the courses are perfect for WORKING STILL PHOTOGRAPHERS trying to incorporate video production into their repertoire.

 

And by combining technical instruction, scene analysis, industry tricks, and cognitive theories, the program offers a perfect supplement for STUDENTS who graduated from, or are already enrolled in, higher education film studies, whether those studies are primarily theory and criticism, or primarily hands-on and project based.

 

In just a few short classes Amsterdam Cinematography Lab will revolutionize the way you see visual storytelling, and will help you improve the impact of your movies.
