Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
Learners will develop basic skills with all aspects of the filmmaking process.
Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a second assistant director and production assistant on a couple of independent films. I wrote and directed my own short film in my studies at a summer film program at USC.
Learners are expected to show up each day with the previous day's work completed. Any work not completed during class, should be completed before the next day. If your child needs extra support outside of the camp, I can create an additional camp for learners who need extra support to get through the process with a finished film.
1 file available upon enrollmentLearners will need to either use a notebook or word document to draft their movies. Templates will be provided as Google Docs and Word Docs. But I will also demonstrate how to draft a script in a notebook. Any type of digital camera: smartphone, tablet, even a computer camera will work for some movies, but we will make it work.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Assessment will occur throughout each day. Informal assessment will occur during activities, with verbal feedback given. There will also be informal check-ins where I assess the status of the class and determine if everyone is ready to move on. I will use these check ins to inform partnerships.
3 hours per week in class, and an estimated 4+ hours per week outside of class.
Depending on their story ideas, learners may need help with creating props, sets, acting, and filming. Nothing elaborate is necessary but I also try to avoid squashing creativity with practicality. I've have students make movies with their dolls when they couldn't get actors together in time.
I have used my own experience and the following sites to plan this course: https://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/vocabulary-learning-filmmaking-vocabulary https://imagesoundandstory.teachable.com/courses/
