Class Experience

In this 8-week course students will first be introduced to filmmaking and editing in a nutshell, will then get to explore these concepts and create their own work. Students will learn to dissect movies in the point of view of a filmmaker and also as an editor, we will identify major filmmakers from the past and now, throughly go through the editing and filmmaking process and discuss different apps and tools that can be helpful when filmmaking. We will be inspired by the work and growth of our peers as well! Each week I will assign short filmmaking projects relating to what we discussed in class. These short films will be presented at our next meeting, we will discuss our thought process in creating our films, there are no wrong answers in filmmaking so your work will never be turned away, but we are always looking for new ways to enhance our work. I will also assign movies and short videos for students to watch and learn from after every week. These movies and videos will all be age appropriate of course and will be discussed the following class. This class is very interactive and thrives on participation, questions and curiosity.  By the end of the course I would like each student to have this new tool in their toolbox and feel confident in their creative style.
