<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>Making
movies is fun! But like any other area of study, you need to know the
history of the subject before you can be an expert yourself. Week One
will focus on the basics of filmmaking and crew positions. We all think
we know what the director does, but ever wonder what in the world a
gaffer does? How about a set designer or grip?</span></span></span></span></font></p><font size="4"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">
</span></font><p style="line-height:normal"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>Students
will analyze film through an examination of cinematography, editing,
acting, scenes, and sound to allow students to view films critically.
The class is a fun way to introduce the young filmmaker to the medium.</span></span></span></span></font></p><font size="4"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">

first step of any great movie is a great script. Writing for the screen
is a different skill set than other forms of writing, and this class
will focus on how to structure a great story within that format. Focuses
will include how to craft a compelling plot/story/theme, how to
properly format a script by industry standards, and how to use language
in a script that conveys your ideas to a director, producer, or
cinematographer. Your journey to becoming a screenwriter starts here.</span></span></span></span></font>

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>Lights,
camera, action! This portion of the course focuses on the
responsibilities and workflow of the film and television director and
crew, from pre-production through post-production. Students will use
cameras, learn about casting, editing, lighting and other
responsibilities of a crew. Students will study and analyze a previously produced film scene and then learn how to create a shot for
shot remake of the scene and learn through comparison exactly what goes
into producing a real Hollywood movie (minus the million dollar
budget.)</span></span></span></span></font></p><font size="4"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>When
the director yells cut for the last time and shooting has wrapped, some
say the real work begins. Every great movie is only as good as its
editor. This part of the course will teach the basics of video editing
using state of the art software. From learning the software, the lingo,
the basic concepts of editing to, adding music, special effects and
filters, your child will learn how to take raw footage and turn it into a
cinematic masterpiece ready for YouTube or the big screen. Students
will edit the final version of the film to be uploaded for online
screening.</span></span></span></span></font></p><font size="4"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">
