Filmmaking from Script to Premiere

Ages: 8-12

Days: mon-fri 

Cost: $180

Session: Jun 18- Jun22 

This class begins with a completed script, allowing the participants to immediately get into the substance of a project. The particpants form a small production groups of 6-8 filmmakers per group. From a book of scripts, the group decides on the genre of film they want to produce: comedy, drama, sci-fi, action adventure or horror. the group begins with creating the storyboards for their film. Using basic video cameras and editing software, they produce the film, integrating simple special effects, sound effects and a musicalscore that is specific to the theme of their film. they learn camera angles, film ettique and vocabulary, as well as how to use digital film tools. These skills should translate outside of the class to their home video camera and compute so they can continue with their digital storytelling after the class is over. Depending on the group, they may bring costumes and props from home to enhance the production value of their film but this is not REQUIRED. The final class will premiere their movie for the benefit of family and friends- a fun and interactive way to wrap a film production! Final production posted on www.freshimedia.com!
