Lights Film School
"Mirror Program"
Hands-on
Assignments
The Lights Film School Mirror Program is a great program that allows you to
follow in our footsteps as you work towards taking your idea from concept to a
final project. The Lights Film School Mirror Program is a program that we
set up so you could see how we bring a film from an idea scratched onto a napkin
to a professionally produced and beautifully shot short film.
We take you behind the scenes so you can examine our writing, casting,
storyboarding, blocking, directorial concepts, cinematography, editing and sound
design. Best of all, we give you all of our footage and audio files to work
along with us.
The idea is to get you working on practical examples as you work through each
module. For instance, in your sound design module, you'll be asked to download
the audio and video files from the Lights Film School Mirror Program associated
with the audio design module. You'll work along side us using the audio files to
create a professional soundscape. We'll teach you how to sweeten audio tracks,
create your sound FX's and bring out deep, rich textures in actor's voices.
We also do you the favour of shooting a few of our scenes twice. Once with the
mistakes that are common to most first time filmmakers (poor audio, poor
movement, poor lighting etc) and then the same scene once again with the
corrections. Our hope is that by experimenting with good and bad footage and
audio files side by side you'll have a better understanding of what you expect
from yourself when you're working on your own projects.
Essentially, we try to make a few of the most common filmmaking mistakes for you
to discourage you from incorporating those mistakes into your own project. That
is why you complete the "Mirror Project" before moving onto completing and
submitting your lesson assignment.
