New York Film Academy Los Angeles

Learn filmmaking in the NYFA Los Angeles and make dreams come true in a city known for its film industry!

Located in the heart of Hollywood, the New York Film Academy Los Angeles offers acting, film and media degrees, programs and workshops in a variety of visual storytelling disciplines, providing students with endless opportunities to master the basics of the film and entertainment industries. Known as the “Media Capital of the World” and surrounded by the best film studios in Los Angeles — Universal and Warner Bros. — students participate in hands-on production workshops, shooting their projects on the prestigious Universal Studios backlot.

From day one, students are behind the camera or working on software to create their own original works of art. In every film degree course offered on the Los Angeles campus, students receive hands-on education from our prestigious faculty through a combination of in-class lectures, supervised workshops and student-guided projects.

Upon completing a film program or workshop at the NYFA Los Angeles, students earn either a New York Film Academy degree or certificate, depending on the type of program completed. In addition, their work is displayed in an event open to family and friends. Selected industry guests are also invited to showcases for long-term and degree programs.

1-Year Screenwriting Program
  • 18+ years old
  • 10 students per class
  • lesson 60 minutes

Over the course of the year, each student writes two featurelength screenplays, plus one television "spec" script along with a number of treatments. As part of a fully integrated program, students explore related areas of filmmaking that help to improve their screenplays and put them into a real-world context. Thus, in addition to writing classes, students study film craft, acting, pitching, and cinema studies, as they apply to screenwriting. Students also write, direct and edit a short digital film or scene from a feature script.

Upon completion of the program, students not only understand story structure, character, conflict and dialogue, but also leave the Academy with finished products that they can pitch, produce, and try to sell.

In the One-Year Screenwriting Program, students are taught the art of screenwriting through courses in both film studies and screenplay/script analysis.

Students are assigned several writing projects. These projects are subject to critique from instructors and peers during inclass workshops.

SEMESTER ONE OVERVIEW

Screenwriters are cinematic storytellers. The genesis of any film project is an idea or concept that must be fleshed out into a fully formed screenplay deemed worthy of production. During Semester One, students are introduced to the screenwriter's tools, and develop the skills necessary for writing. Students are encouraged to be creative, but are also taught to think of the screenplay as a tool—the definitive industry tool-- used to articulate an idea or concept to a production team, including producers, financiers, directors, and actors. Standard formatting and industry expectations are studied and analyzed during writing workshops and lectures.

SEMESTER ONE OBJECTIVES

LEARNING GOALS

WGA format and copyright law.

In depth study of classic screenplay structure, character arcs, theme, conflict, flashbacks, voiceover, subtext, style, tone, visualization, discipline, and genre.

Critical concepts in film history.

Theory and practice of acting to understand good dialogue and appropriate behavior.

WRITING GOALS

Write a treatment for a feature length film.

Write an outline for a feature length film.

Write a first draft of a speculative (“spec”) feature length screenplay.

SEMESTER TWO OVERVIEW

The second semester challenges students to develop their craft artistically and technically, and to progress beyond their earlier experiments with the feature length screenplay. In an advanced workshop, students may choose between revising the screenplay draft written in the first semester or they may begin writing a new feature length screenplay. Students are expected to share revised or newly written material in workshops. During Semester Two, students broaden their understanding of the medium and develop additional material for television.

SEMESTER TWO OBJECTIVES

LEARNING GOALS

Fundamentals of film directing.

In depth look at treatment writing.

In depth study of the pitch.

Standard conventions of TV writing.

WRITING GOALS

Revise draft of "spec" or write a new "spec" script.

Direct a short film or scene.

Beyond the theory and history of cinema, the New York Film Academy places an emphasis on hands-on experience. Students gain invaluable experience directing and shooting their own films and serving as integral crewmembers on other students' films. In their numerous projects, students take on roles such as director, cinematographer, writer and editor and experience first-hand what it's like to be a part of a film production. This hands-on experience in writing, directing, shooting, and editing is a large part of what makes the New York Film Academy the best film school for so many students.

Based in the independent film hub of New York City, the Academy’s film school offers innumerable opportunities for students to take full advantage of the many unique and singular locations offered by the city. From the first day of class, students take their cameras out in the city, gaining crucial knowledge in framing shots, using natural and direct lighting, and other essential techniques.

* Students will also incur additional expenses on their own productions. This varies depending on how many films they shoot and scale of the projects.

*Please consult with our managers to find out the course start dates.

My daughter went to Film Camp, she really liked everything. Since we from NY, we came to her, everything was fine, living conditions were good. I want to note the organization of the trip, which was at the highest level, even better than we expected!

I got my MFA from the New York Film Academy last year and I would highly recommend this school to everybody. The teachers are great, the program is intensive. Whoever is against this school- should try a few other schools at first, instead of saying bad things. They will be back to NYFA. I person

I attended the One Year Filmmaking program at New York Film Academy (LA) and I achieved what I set out to do -- Learn to make movies. I had no film or digital filmmaking experience when I entered the school. The only way I feel I could learn anything more of true value is to keep making movies. T
