A Cut Above The Rest Production partnered with LAFilmCamp to offer extensive training and practical hands-on experience to students interested in the ever-growing film industry. In our workshops, students use state-of-the-art cameras, lighting, and sound equipment, as well as one of the industry standard post-production computer softwares, Final Cut Pro. Students along with the teachers at LAFilmCamp are also given the opportunity to develop their skills through our multi-week programs that allow students to learn different styles of film making as well as editing. LAFilmCamp is unique in that our method combines theory and actual practice. Each week, film making is approached as the art of visual storytelling. Students learn the step-by-step procedures for taking the written words in a script to the visual images on the screen. These workshops are structured to teach the fundamental technical skills of single camera film production. This includes script analysis and shooting breakdown; the Master Shot Cinema Language; directing actors; camera technique; the use of light, color and sound; and the technique of putting it all together in the editing room. In addition, all students participate as actors in other students productions.
