This course is perfect for aspiring filmmakers and movie editors, as well as artists of all kinds and students who just love movies and want to know how they're made. We'll watch clips from classics like Star Wars and Hitchcock, modern hits like Marvel and Lord of the Rings, and your own clips to learn: -cinematography: shots (close-ups, tracking, etc) and cuts -stylistic effects like the use of shadow in film noir -special effects like CGI and green screens -which movie-magic tricks you can use for your own home-made movies Students are welcome to share their home-made movies in class! Finally, I recommend checking out my Teacher Profile, especially my Teaching Philosophy section, to make sure this is a fit for your student. I also offer this as a Self-Paced Class, if your student prefers that method of instruction: https://outschool.com/classes/film-study-and-youtube-movie-making-LKV8kcPr#usu529M6QA See you in class!
