Georgia Film Academy Program The film industry in Georgia is booming! The projected industry growth over the next three to five years will generate 3,000 to 5,000 new jobs, and the average earnings for jobs on set are $84,00.00 a year. That’s why Georgia has launched the Georgia Film Academy (GFA), a unique-in-the-nation, statewide initiative to prepare Georgia citizens for these high demand careers. The Academy has developed the GFA Certification, which has become the standard for those hiring in the industry.

WHY GFA CERTIFICATION? Getting into the film industry is not easy, and on-set film workers are needed in Georgia. Earning the GFA Certification signals to those hiring for the film industry that you have received the educational and hands-on training needed and possess the basic level of on-set film production skills, knowledge and experience with film-industry standard organizational structure, professional equipment and on-set procedures.

GFA Certification courses will provide you: • Multi-disciplinary training by professionals in the film, TV and news media industries. • In-classroom coursework coupled with on-set, hands on training. • Opportunity to work on “real world” projects in order to earn recognized film credits. • One-on-one job counseling, including resume preparation, job research and job placement outreach.

COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is the first of a two-course program that will provide an introduction to the skills used in on-set film production, including all forms of narrative media that utilize film-industry standard organizational structure, professional equipment and on-set procedures. In addition to the use of topical lectures, PowerPoint presentations, videos and hand-outs, the course will include demonstrations of equipment and set operations as well as hands-on learning experiences. Students will learn: film production organizational structure, job descriptions and duties in various film craft areas, names, uses and protocols related to various pieces of professional on-set film equipment. These areas include: • Lighting • Grip • Sound • Camera • Art Department

• Script Supervision • Storyboarding • Locations • Craft Services

• Wardrobe • Casting • Set Paperwork • Set Etiquette

Students will also learn, through lecture and exercises, how the various film crafts relate to one-another on a working set, as well as how and why they all must operate in sync. In addition, students will learn skills related to networking and self-marketing. Class size is limited.
