FIL 2461C – Cinematography I

Overview

As a student enrolled in FIL 2461C – Cinematography I, you have a variety of resources available to complete course media assignments and individual development. These include access to NSCM Media Labs and the checkout of media equipment.

Policy Requirements

Students are required to complete the Film and Mass Media Facility Access Student Agreement Form before they can checkout equipment or use Media Labs. This form has to completed once each semester to cover all courses.

Facility Access

After the Add / Drop deadline, enrolled students can electronically access NSCM Media Labs – NSC-161, 211A, and 211B using their UCF ID cards when classes are not being held in theses spaces. Please use the Activity Calendars located on the NSCM Media Lab resource page to help determine when these spaces are available for open and assisted lab hours.

If you are unable to access the Media Labs or have been issued a replacement UCF ID card, please see operations staff for assistance.

Equipment Checkout

Assignment Window

FIL 2461C – Cinematography I has an open assignment window.

Equipment checkout typically begins the third week of the Fall and Spring semesters and ends on the last days of classes (Finals Week is not included). If Cine 1 is offered during the Summer, it typically begins the second week of the semester and ends on the last day of class.

Duration & Frequency

Students can checkout equipment multiple times per semester. Each checkout period is limited to a maximum of four days.

The total number of days includes the pickup and return dates (i.e., equipment checked-out on a Monday would have to be returned on Thursday). Weekend checkouts will be considered as two days (i.e., equipment checked-out on a Friday would have to be returned on Monday).

Due to limitations with our reservation system, we are not able to grant extensions to checked-out equipment. Students can only request one checkout per week. No back-to-back requests can be made (e.g., you must wait at least one business day to submit a new request to allow other students a chance to reserve the equipment).
