Film Production Camp
 

1 Week Movie Camp

"One Week" students will eat, drink and breathe movie making. The pace of this one-week course is FAST, and students will work together in groups to complete a short film to be screened at the conclusion of the workshop. The instructor takes a very hands-on approach, making sure that each student gets the attention needed to learn about the whole process!

  

The program begins with two days of intensive study in camera, writing, directing and basic editing. On Days Three and Four, students shoot their group exercises exercises. Day Five is comprised of an editing class, and post-production.

  

In the Movie Camp, each student will help to write, produce, direct, and digitally edit his or her own film on digital video and will rotate among crew positions when his or her classmates shoot.
