This 4 Lesson Self-Paced class 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, plus do activities 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 encouraged to create and share home-made movies during the class, using the concepts we learn! This is a Self-Paced class with no live meetings. Each of the 4 Lessons includes a pre-recorded Lesson Video (plus an Optional Worksheet for comprehension) with accompanying Discussion posts, where students will do activities and engage in a back-and-forth with the teacher. Students are also welcome to message me or arrange Q&A or live "office hours" for additional support. I also offer this as a Live Class, if your student prefers that method of instruction: https://outschool.com/classes/film-study-and-youtube-movie-making-JT0olP6k#usu529M6QA See you in class!

I teach a well-received live version of this class and want to make it available as a Self-Paced Class. I studied film and cinematography in high school, made several short films for those classes, and edit videos as part of my professional freelancing. I'm a film lover who watches movies across all eras and from around the world. I’m excited to explore the magic of filmmaking with you!Reviews
