Membership> Accredited Directory

ACS Accreditation may be granted to a cinematographer who has been a full member of the society for a minimum of three years whose overall standard of cinematography is consistently high. Equal recognition is given to work produced on film or video tape.

The Accreditation Committee takes into consideration the standard of lighting, both interior and exterior, composition, operating and camera movement. Consideration will also be given to the cinematic approach in relation to content. The work submitted must demonstrate more than just professional competence. Creativity and aesthetic innovation will be qualities sought by the adjudicators.

Accreditation by the Society is deemed an honour and the Accredited Cinematographer shall have the right to use the letters ACS after his or her name.
