The New York Film Academy (NYFA) 1-Year Cinematography Program is a two semester, conservatory-based, full-time, non-degree program. This means students will work at an accelerated rate, with maximum commitment, as they develop new skills and create a body of work. The curriculum is designed to immerse prospective cinematographers in all aspects of the discipline. NYFA provides a creative setting to challenge, inspire, and develop the talents of aspiring cinematographers through intensive curriculum. Whether our cinematography students are seeking to forge a new life path as cinematographers or are already experienced and are seeking to update their skill set, our courses in the fundamentals of exposure, composition, set-etiquette and lighting will push them to develop new mastery by the end of the year.
