[Jeremy Paul]

!!DEADLINE FOR ENROLLMENT IS JULY 7!!

Horror film Camp
presented by First Cut Studios Inc. at Benedictine High School.

Session 1
It’s Alive! An Intro to american horror
--Camp begins with a crash course in the history of the American Horror 
film, beginning with the Universal cycle of the 1930’s and its development 
after World War II. Different ways of interpreting horror films will be 
examined as well as basics of horror movie production: make-up, lighting, 
sound, and cinematography. Movies will include Frankenstein, THEM!, and 
Psycho, with clips from Nosferatu, The Phantom of the Opera, and Cat People.

Session 2
monsters 101: producing horror
--Using a original script by BHS graduate Peter Matuszewski, students will 
work on the set of a short horror movie in several capacities: light and 
sound crews, make-up/costume crew, and digital photography. Effective use of 
budget in producing horror will be looked at in Night of the Living Dead, 
The Mummy (1932), and The Mummy (1999).

Session 3
Nightmares, Chainsaws, and Questions
--In this session, students will discuss some of the more controversial 
aspects of the horror genre such as the depiction of women and the dubious 
pleasure of explicit violence, tying in with the broader question of why 
people watch horror movies in the first place. Students will also receive a 
brief tutorial in non-linear digital editing with Final Cut Pro using the 
camp movie shot in session 2. Movies will include The Texas Chainsaw 
Massacre, Halloween, Alien, and Evil Dead 2. Optional clips will come from 
Blood and Black Lace and Suspira.
