[Ansley Valentine]

The Wooster Digital Film Experience introduces students age 13 to 18  to
the independent film process. No experience necessary. Cost: $690. For
more information: www.wooster.edu/filmcamp


The Program
The Wooster Digital Film Experience introduces
beginning and intermediate film writers,
actors, directors and producers to the independent
film process. Using digital film
technology, students will take on some of the
various roles involved in the world of film
production. The camp begins with intensive
script writing instruction.
Working in groups, students will develop 10-
minute short scripts highlighting strong story
lines, believable characters and exciting dialogue.
Students will then “pitch” their scripts
in a selection process. Chosen scripts will be
filmed, allowing students to experience acting,
directing and producing. Students will also
serve as crew members, and learn about
digital video cameras, sound, editing, lighting,
location scouting, and other skills required
to produce an independent short. The schedule
will vary based on the production and
instructional needs of the process. Days will
include writing, filming and editing. Nights
will be free for film viewing or relaxation.


Cost & Registration
$690 covers five nights of housing, three
meals per day, insurance, instruction, handouts,
and the use of digital film equipment
(cameras, lights, etc.). A $250 non-refundable
deposit must accompany a student’s application
by Monday, June 25. The remaining balance
must be paid on or before the first day of
camp. Space permitting, students may register
after June 25 for an additional $50 fee. All students
must provide a $25 cash key deposit
at check-in, which will be refunded at the conclusion
of the camp.

Who Can Attend
The camp is intended for students age 13 to 18
who have an interest in writing and/or
creating film. No experience is necessary, but a
serious interest in the creative aspects of
film is strongly recommended.
