Nicoletta Lingrosso - L.A. Film Student - Film Connection
I had class this week with my mentor. I will be working on my new
documentary the next two weeks and showing my mentor my progress through the power point presentation as I am preparing it as well as my
treatment. I hope to start on the interviews in the next 3 weeks.
I will be finished with the rough edit of my first documentary by
March 11th "The Good Hunt". I have also been watching some classic
films that have been assigned to me. I must say Citizen Kane is by far
my favorite as of yet. My mentor also has me apprenticing in Post Production which has been a great learning experience as I have been sitting in with
the Editors the past 2 months. I am working on my scripts as well and hope to enter a writing contest at the end of March and soon to begin writing a new comedy. I am working on my website and once that has been completed I will post it to Myspace, Facebook and Mediawarrior.
I have created a new company with my sister as she is the director on
my documentaries and I am the producer. The company name is
FocusIncProductions. This is what I have been doing in the past 2 weeks and I will continue working on this until my next meeting with my mentor through March 11th. Things are going well and this has been the best experience and career training program. Film Connection works.
thank you

I can not believe how cool this program is. While every schedule is different and some are only able to go to their studio a few hours per week, here is my schedule. Here is what I do every week:
I am getting about 30-40 hours on average at my studio weekly.
- 2 hrs. was spent on training on the Panasonic HVX-200 HD Camera Package w/Letus Extreme Prime Lens Upgrade. Here I learned how to assemble this camera, all the different parts and features, how to put on different lenses, packing the HVX and its gear up, proper storage, and a bit of this cameras focal depth (hands on).
- 2 hrs spent touring the studio location and its gear. Grip gear, lenses, cameras, green screen, tripods, loading and unloading the gear trailer...ect.
- 1 hrs spent assembling the gear of the HVX camera and the run bag for the upcoming shoot.
- 2 hrs spent on their new camera; Red One 4K Digital Cinema Package
Red Raid Drive
Red Flash Drive
Red LCD
Testing for any flaws as well as testing shots to find the best compression ratios.
- 1 hrs spent checking in video gear and making sure everything is in the right bags.
- .5 hrs spent going over my weekly lesson
- .5 hrs spent on a client meeting in which I took notes down to prep for the shot list and call sheet info
- .75 hrs spent on making a call sheet for an upcoming shoot
- .5 hrs spent on prepping the equipment for this shoot
- 1.5 hrs spent on learning and using Color Correction through Final Cut Pro on stock footage
- 1.5 hrs spent on acquiring props for and upcoming shoot (pre-production)
- 1 hrs spent on calling talent and coming up with wardrobe ideas for upcoming shoot.
- 2 hrs meeting with producer director/Dp coming up with shots and shot list, wardrobe, cast, location, time...ect.
This day was a stock footage shoot for funnelbox, shot in downtown portland or. I was involved with directing, lighting, PA, talent and being talent, location set up...ect. I was a PA on a commercial shoot in which I also did some lighting, back at the office I made a call sheet for an upcoming shoot and shipped out some dub tabes to a few clients.

I really am happy with the Film Connection film program. A corporate company came in regards to shoot a marketing video for their website. I served as a teleprompter for two days on this
particular project and I was paid for that job. That's right I am going to class and I also got paid. Then, PBS came in to shoot a commercial and I served as an assistant to the prop-master.. Later on in the week I helped out with editing some corporate projects. I also watched the studio animator work with the program that I'll be using for my project. This program is great in that it uts you in the real world so you get to get apprentice on real projects and make real contacts as you learn.
