Film School for Kids & Teens -- Enrolling for Fall & Winter
by Young Filmmakers Academy 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

Young Filmmakers Academy's 8 Week Film School is a comprehensive film studies program specifically designed for kids and teens ages 10-17. Movies are an important part of our lives and more and more kids are becoming interested in how they are made. YFA's eight week program is designed to give your child a crash course in how to create professional movies from start to finish. From screenwriting to lighting and sound, to camera work to editing, YFA's award winning instructors will guide your child through the creative process and onto a journey of artistic expression using the cinematic arts. *WHAT'S INCLUDED? * YFA's 8 Week Film School covers the following topics... *WEEK ONE* FILM SCHOOL OVERVIEW 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? 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. *WEEK TWO* SCREENWRITING The 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. *WEEKS THREE, FOUR AND FIVE & SIX* DIRECTING AND CINEMATOGRAPHY 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 film previously produced film scene and then learn how to create a shot for shot re-make of the scene and learn through comparison exactly what goes into producing a real Hollywood movie (minus the million dollar budget.) *WEEKS SEVEN AND EIGHT* EDITING 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. *WHEN AND WHERE ARE CLASSES HELD? * - Fall Session: September 6 through October 25 classes will be held every Tuesday night from 6pm-8pm in our Lakewood studio located at 15022 Madison Avenue. - Winter Session: November 1 through December 20 classes will be held every Tuesday night from 6pm-8pm in our Lakewood studio located at 15022 Madison Avenue. *WATCH SOME OF THE FILMS FROM PAST SESSIONS AND ENROLL TODAY AT* https://www.youngfilmmakersacademy.org/8-week-class
