In 2016 AFTRS conducted a Triennial survey Industry Skills survey with SARA (Screen Audience Research Australia), which provided valuable feedback to the School in relation to curriculum and course planning.
The 2019 surveys are below.
It is absolutely vital for us to gain information from Industry about the challenges the rapidly changing media environment are presenting both to companies and individuals, and how we can best help moving forward. Your responses will contribute to our forward planning and also provide very useful insights to the Industry as a whole.
There is are two surveys, Individual & Company.Please complete both as appropriate. All respondents go into the draw to win (transferable) short course vouchers.
|
Individual Survey » - Individual Survey (where you answer questions about your own career and education) |
|
|
Company Survey » - Company Survey (where you answer questions on behalf of your company). |
So If you’ve ever thought…”Why doesn’t AFTRS do this?” or “We really need more people who can do this!” now is your chance to have your say!

ACS SESSIONS @ MEDTECH EXPO
ACS SESSIONS ON FRIDAY,
19TH JULY
9.00am – 5.30pm
Session 1. 9.30 – 10.30am
MEASURING COLOUR REPRODUCTION
Duration 60.00
Pawel Achtel ACS, as a member of Technical Committee of the Giant Screen Cinema Association (GSCA) has designed an accurate and objective way to measure colour reproduction accuracy of cinema cameras. In plain English, the process tests the range of colours that a camera can see and how accurately it can reproduce them. To make the test more accurate, Pawel uses a laboratory spectroscope, which can project all visible monochromatic colours (think the colours of the rainbow) directly onto the camera’s sensor. Such an approach removes a number of variables, inaccuracies and subjective interpretation that are usually introduced through lighting, lenses, dyes, and other factors associated with the traditional way of using colour charts. In July 2018, Pawel, with assistance from the Australian Cinematographers Society Brisbane evaluated the Sony Venice, Arri Alexa LF, RED Monstro, and Panavision DXL2. Results of that test will be shared during this session by Pawel Achtel ACS.
Session 2. 11.00am – 12.00noon
SHOOTING WITH LARGE SCREEN SENSORS
Duration 60 minutes
Cinematographers Velinda Wardell ACS & Tom Gleeson
Presently Arri, Canon, Panavision, Red and Sony are offering larger than 35mm sensors. After nearly 100 years of cinema and TV production on 35mm do we need to change our shooting format? Is there a compelling reason for change?
The ACS Technical committee has shot tests and gone down the rabbit hole on large format shooting so we can spell out exactly what it means to “go large”.
Session 3. 1.30pm – 2.45pm
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION (Creating Diversity on Set)
Duration 60 minutes
A broad panel conversation around diversity and inclusion to include cinematographers of different backgrounds, gender and ethnicity. How can we make our crews look more like the world we live in?
Moderator: Erika Addis with 5 guest panel members. TBC
Session 4. 3.15pm – 4.45pm
Peter James talks about “Ladies in Black”.
Duration 90 minutes
This session from acclaimed cinematographer, Peter James ACS ASC is about the making of a Feature film “Ladies in Black” and Peter’s long term collaboration with Director, Bruce Beresford. Also during the session, Peter will refer to other genres including; short films, documentaries and commercials. Peter will talk about how a lot of the problems and responses, across the genres are the same and we, as cinematographers need to understand how to relate and communicate with a diverse group of people.
