Class experience
As previously discussed, I will be teaching students how to create a film from concept to completion. They will come up with an idea, write a script, shoot the film, edit the film, and upload the film to Youtube. I teach at the college level. I structure my class exactly how I structure my college class. We start with me showing and providing information...then I give "assignments." So, they will write a script. They will shoot their film. Then, they will edit their film. Class 1 -...
Students will learn the basics of creating their own film from concept to completion.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:

We try to keep our films clean, but just know that there might be some occasional bad language and violent acts (fight scenes). I assure you, nothing I wouldn't allow my own 12 year old to see.
My background includes a plethora of experiences, including customer service, hospitality, manufacturing, construction, project management, marketing and communication, and teaching. I have owned my own video production business since 2007, where...
