In each of these courses, students from 5 to 6 Reversed black and white 16mm film. That's the kind of films we expect to see in a film school. Black and white, without sound. As a learning exercise, these real movies do more harm than good because the techniques used are so disconnected from how things are actually done on a real film set. Surely you do not spend much on education to make movies how do you work with this level of equipment.

The camera used by these schools is the ARRIFLEX-S. This device was invented in 1952. It has become very popular in the 1960s, the rise of new 16 mm film. However, none in the film industry uses the camera again, except for students cinema. The camera is "no sync" which means you can not take characters who speak dialogue, the film will not keep the same speed as the band Registration and dialogue starts out of sync with the mouths of actors in motion.

Arrifliex-S cameras, if any, rent for about $ 150 per day. There are two rental houses in New York, you can go instead of paying thousands of dollars in tuition. Go to Hit Productions and Brooklyn direction http://www.hitandrunproductions.com . Or Astoria cinema in Queens http://www.cinema-astoria.com .

When fired, every point of light measurement to the target. You punch in the speed your film (Tri-X is 400 and Plus-X 200) and tell you what f-stop to bring your camera. F stop is a small ring around the lens allows light more or less.

It's so simple. Basically, the best is out of the narrow is the f stop should be. If it is really dark, then stop f must be completely open. Measuring the light does everything for you.

Then, once you've finished shooting a http://www.colorlab.com . Write your movie will develop for you and put it on a mini cassette DV.

You can then edit it in your mac.

If you can not get to New York after a simple Google. "Arriflex-S camera rental" or "Rent Bolex camera." You can also send by mail to B film H and investment, and e-mail Colorlab movie or find a laboratory near you.
