This summer, focus on stories that matter.
Creating media that is socially responsible and highly effective, students in this four-week online intensive will gain insight into the process of collaborative content creation and an overview of media literacy.
Elevate your knowledge of filmmaking from one of the best film schools in the nation.
In week one, we will be watching films with an eye toward analyzing their structure and filmic make-up. Also, the first at home single person film assignment will be given out. We will cover editing over a virtual lecture so that students are prepared to edit on Adobe Premiere. In addition, we will cover important topics like writing, casting, directing and editing through zoom lecture and collaboration.
In weeks two and three, students will begin production on their final film that they will shoot with any type of camera they have at their disposal in locations they can shoot in or around their home. We will also spend the last week writing a short film that students can shoot in the feature. The program will conclude with a virtual screening of students' work.
Students who successfully complete this program will receive college credit. Students must have completed junior year of high school by the start of summer 2020 to attend.
