Summer Programs From New York Film Academy, Duke University and Harvard University
1. New York Film Academy SUMMER FILM & ACTING CAMPS
Our summer camps are like no other in the world. Whether you enroll in our acting, filmmaking, screenwriting, journalism, musical theatre, video game design or 3D animation camps you will work with students from all our camps to make a short film. This provides each student the opportunity to play a valuable role in the production of a film while receiving the hands-on instruction needed to perfect your craft.
Since 1996, thousands of teenagers and kids from all over the world have taken part in our intensive day and weekend camps taking place in New York City, Los Angeles, CA, Disney Studios in Orlando, Harvard University in Boston, Paris, Mumbai and Florence. We invite you to join us this summer.

Film Camp
In all New York Film Academy film camps, each student writes, shoots, directs and edits his or her own films. Film camp is designed for people with little or no experience in making films. The programs focus on the fundamental elements of visual storytelling that enable the participants to direct their own projects.
During these high school film programs, each weekday is split between in class instruction and on-set production, and the following subjects are taught to be of immediate and practical use in an integrated curriculum. In our longer film camps (three, four and six week), these subjects will be treated in greater detail and taken to a higher level than in the shorter programs. Each day, students apply the lessons learned directly to the films they are making. Students in longer programs make more films and, therefore, have more opportunities to develop their abilities and employ what they have learned.
DIRECTING
Students will be introduced to the language and practice of filmmaking. They will discuss shooting plans for their film projects and screen their work with their instructor throughout the course. Directing is approached as the art of visual storytelling. Students will find that directing the camera concerns more than just where to place the camera. Through hands-on demonstrations, the students will learn how camera movement, visual arrangement and editing patterns not only depict the action but also express the underlying drama. Each student directs a series of films in crews of four. Students also rotate in these crews among the principal film crew positions. Crews are required to meet each week with the directing instructor to review scripts and shooting plans.
WRITING
Students will learn to take a story from initial idea, through treatment and step outline, to a finished script for their final film. Story structure, theme, character, tension, and conflict will be explored as they are used in filmmaking.
HANDS-ON CAMERA
This is a no-nonsense camera class where students will learn to use the Arriflex 16-S or a 24P digital video camera, depending on their choice of workshop*. They will learn proper loading, operation, and maintenance of the camera. In the first week students will shoot and screen tests for focus, exposure, lens perspective, film latitude, slow/fast motion, and contrast. Any students needing extra instruction are given review sessions as necessary.
* Students in the six-week program will learn to use both formats.
EDITING
Students will learn to edit their films with digital editing software. The class will cover both the technical aspects of the editing process, as well as the conventions and theory behind editing choices and styles.

The Six-Week Film Camp provides students with an intensive introduction to the craft of filmmaking, and gives them an opportunity to direct a longer final film (shot on 16mm or HD digital video) than is possible in our shorter0workshops. In the Six-Week Camp each student writes, directs, shoots and edits four short film projects of his or her own using Arriflex 16-S cameras, Lowel lighting packages, and digital editing software. The fourth film may be shot either on 16mm film or HD digital video. Hands-on classes in directing, writing, editing, cinematography, and production cover all the creative and technical demands of telling a story with moving images. Each week all the students’ films are screened and critiqued in class with the instructor.
Format
First four weeks
The first four weeks are structured around the production of three short films of increasing complexity (see curriculum section for detailed description). Students attend class either in the morning or afternoon Monday through Friday, and shoot their films with supervision during the other half of each day. Weekends are reserved for writing, relaxation, and organized trips and activities.
Last two weeks
Each student devotes the fifth and sixth weeks of the program to directing and editing a longer film of up to six minutes in length. This film is shot on 16mm film or digital video. It is non-sync and is accompanied by soundtracks which may include ambience, voice over, music and sound effects.
The schedule provides students with additional time for preparation and one-on-one consultation during pre-production of their films. Students take advantage of this time to polish their scripts, to scout locations, and to cast.
Crews
Students work in three or four person crews to complete each film. Every student directs four films. When colleagues direct, students rotate among the key crew positions (director of photography, assistant camera, and editor). Students shoot films almost every weekday throughout the workshop. This results in an enormous amount of hands-on experience.
Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a diploma.
Students
The Six-Week Summer Film Camp attracts a dynamic, international group of students from all backgrounds. The combination of non-stop collaborative work, the mix of diverse cultures and experiences, and a shared passion for film make the workshop an intensely enriching experience.
Classes in the Six-Week Summer Film Camp are limited in size. Prospective applicants should carefully consider the location descriptions to take full advantage of the diversity of locales.
Please see the locations section in this brochure for a detailed description and dates of each program. Please note: curriculum, camera format, dates, and prices subject to change.

Course Descriptions
Biology
(Biology/BIOLOGY) Animal Adaptations. A tiny (4g) Ruby-throated hummingbird migrates across the Gulf of Mexico without stopping for over 500 miles. Underwater, not only does a mantis shrimp see colors that humans cannot discriminate, but it also can detect the circular polarization of light in ways that our technology cannot replicate. In Australia, a male bowerbird attracts mates by building a mound full of shiny blue objects. And in the deserts of Africa, an adult female naked mole rat is functionally sterile and works not towards reproducing her own offspring, but towards those of an unrelated queen. These are just some of the numerous examples of extreme physiological and behavioral adaptations found in animals. In this course we will explore the world’s organismal diversity by examining some of the most unusual and extreme adaptations, including the following: mimicry, animal migrations and endurance, animal migrations and navigation and orientation, sexual cannibalism, eusociality and kin selection, eusociality and reciprocal altruism, color change, gender manipulation, sexual size dimorphisms, dive mechanisms, mate acquisition and female choice, mate acquisition and male-male competition, sixth senses, hibernation, and optimal foraging. Throughout the course students will be challenged to understand how different factors lead to the diversity of animal adaptations seen in the world and critically process and critique primary source scientific data.
(Biology/BIOLOGY) Frontiers in Medicine. This course is designed to introduce students to current topics in medicine and the basic biology used to research medical treatments. By exploring recent advancements in disease understanding, treatment, and how the media presents these advancements, students will gain an appreciation for the importance of biology. Furthermore, they will develop a foundation in basic cellular and molecular biology without having previous biology experience. Topics will include: common birth defects, neurodegenerative diseases, stem cells and regeneration, cancer, and vaccines. Learning objectives include developing knowledge and skills in using scientifically correct terms to articulate an understanding of medical issues and basic biology, critically analyzing how medical information is disseminated to the public, and assessing the validity of a scientific argument.
(Biology/BIOLOGY) Neurobiology of Everyday Life. A synapse is a specialized connection between a neuron and the cell with which it communicates. Synapses are the fundamental unit of brain function that underlay our emotions and everyday experience. This course introduces what makes neuronal cells different from other cells in the body, including how their connections develop, function, and change over time. In addition, the neuronal underpinnings of everyday experiences such as vision and hearing will be explored. Students will learn the history behind pivotal discoveries in neuroscience and how model organisms used in basic science research have contributed to our understanding of the brain.
(Biology/BIOLOGY) Science and Society. What is the evidence for ebola quarantines? What was behind scientists in Italy being sent to prison for failing to predict an earthquake? Why is Vitamin C such a popular cold remedy? Students will examine the current scientific consensus and then investigate how this diverges from public discourse and policy discussions for ‘controversial’ science topics. A variety of topics such as global warming, paleo diets, and evolution will be critically examined from both the viewpoint of science and its perception in public consciousness. We will also investigate how science news is filtered in its journey from journal articles to popular media and the debate surrounding how scientists should engage with the public. Should scientists engage in politics and policy debates, or sit back and let the data ‘speak for itself’? How do public perception and advocacy shift research agendas? How do these debates influence the broader perception of science and scientists in society?
