Can some one tell me which are the best film schools in britain and specially for cinematography. Thanks

So you are saying i should go for it because that's all i can afford ...fair enough .....thanks man more advice is welcomed

I want to do some full time course in Cinematography and after a lot of research i have realised that the schools where i always dreamt to be which are in U.S are too expensive so the only and the cheapest option left is Australia so i need advice in that regard. All the courses offered there go deeply in 16mm and not 35mm and i want to be a 35mm Dp but then i think that its the technique which i have to learn the lighting, stocks, processes...... so does it matter 16 or 35. Please guys help me with this, is it worth sudying for 2yrs and then come out trained in 16mm and not ne able to do what i want to do that is 35mm.... Thanks

Are there any courses offered in any part of the world where courses can be offered to pursue a career as a Key Grip. Thanks

Thanks a lot this was an eye opener but i'm really nervous now......hope i do well

I'm sorry 'Film'.

I'm going to assist a D.O.P from next week which would be more of a training for me but still i want to be well prepared so that i could be an asset for him rather than being a burden, so please can someone guide me in detail about the various responsibilities of an asisstant and what all will the DP would expect from me.......thanks a lot

thanks a lot guys u almost saved me from being dragged to the the court room. well i am a student but making this one for film festivals. what if we remix the song or put a lot of sound effects in between do i escape the copyright laws this way or i'm still in deep poop..... plus there is a sequence where the lead is listening to music on a discman and the music is leaking from the headphones, can i use popular music in that part or even that is not possible. thanks a lot

i shot it on pal but used the frame rate mode that is 30p on canonxl1 and captured it on 25p settings, what do i do for the final output on a minidv what camera and settings do i opt for

i need to put a lto of music in my film for which initially i had a budget to get it composed but some things went wrong n now i have to use popular music. what i need to know about is the copyright laws applicable incase of music. can i use music composed by other artists? how much duration can i use? remember where no money is involved. thanks a lot

recently i shot a film on canonxl1 30p which i captured on avid with 25p settings now that the editing part is finished i want to take a dump on a dv but the problem i'm facing is that i dont get any output on the camera LCD, do i need to change my settings because i get output when i change it to 30i or do i need to hire a canon xl1 again to take the dump. can i use a canon xl2 for dump and use the frame rate mode to take the dump and take it as 24p will it make any differene, if yes would that be for good or not?. thanks a lot

won't i use pal 24p setting or 25p instead of ntsc because we do pal here in india. and to confirm i used canonxl1 and according to you i can use any mini dv player to capture right. thanks a lot

what factors in video makes a film maker decide if he'll shoot the film on 16:9 or 4:3. is it preference or some technicality behind it

i recently shot a film on canon xl1 frame rate mode i.e, 24p now i'm gonna edit it on a avid xpress pro, what i need to know is when i'll capture the footage do i need a canon xl1 only as a player or its the avid on which i have to work on certain settings. please let me know

does canon XL1 has true 24p mode and 16:9? or is it jus digitally made possible

i'm sorry to again question on the same topic but the thing is we dont have any problem with arranging for lights, generator, smoke and mirror boards we can afford that but the thing is that we have a maximum 6k hmi that to only one. i can get three of 2.5k hmi and need to get the effect of sunrays entering a plane glass window on to two subjects sitting on the floor how do i do the setup. thanks a lot

the idea is to get a very light tint something like the green in matrix or even lighter than that and to make it look clean not to just put a plate of some colour and make everything get a look of that colour

What is the difference between a par hmi and other hmi's?

IMHO?

IMHO?

does canon xl1 also have 24p option and don't they have interchangable lenses.

i have in total three 2.5k par hmi and mirror boards how do i do the setup for the sunrays thing and if i want the whitish light do i need to put cto's.

if instead of using coral is just do it on post wil the effect be the same or it will be better using coral.

its day time with clear glass what i wanted was more like not golden but white like day sunrays coming in. i could afford a generator and 1-2 hmi's and also mirror glass. what can i do with this

I want to light up a scene where a guy is sitting in front of a huge glass wall and i want to show beams of sunrays entering the room through that glass wall in form of mutiple beams of sunrays each visible clearly. how to do that
