How to format a DP resume

[andrew cadelago]

I am applying to a few graduate programs this year that ask for a resume or CV. I have professional experience as a DP/Camera Op/AC etc. Just wondering if there is a "proper" way to format the resume.

Also, are there any AFI students or Alumni out there? I'm curious about the Cinematography track.

Its been a while since you posted this but I'll take a hack at it anyway. I don't think there is a typical format for DP resumes in particular. Just use an accepted resume format.

I think it's best to avoid padding the resume with too many job classifications. IMO, If you're going for a DP job and only have 3 DP credits use those and not your ten PA credits. Also, I only keep recent projects on my resume to avoid it spilling over onto another page. Other than that make sure it has your contact information written clearly at the top.
