In this 1:1 course, students will have a private iMovie lesson in the important elements of video production and editing, from story development through a finished, edited product. If a specific topic is wanted I will cater to teach the topics you want learn. This is designed to be a fun, creative, enjoyable and encouraging environment. If students have been working on an independent project, then review, feedback & suggestions will be provided.

This private session can taken by anyone with iMovie experience, basic through advanced, who wants extra practice, instruction, and feedback. Students can  sign up for one session, or "drop in" as often as they would like, using this class similar to a "workshop" meeting--perfect for ongoing independent film projects. 

Laptop/desktop and mobile/tablet iMovie programs are both suitable for class (laptop preferred, due to limits on editing using the iPad/iPhone version of iMovie).

Individualized attention allows for specific, constructive and positive feedback. Targeted instruction catered to student needs may include:

-Brainstorming new project ideas
-The importance of proper shot composition, camera angles, and movement
-The elements of engaging storytelling
-Using transitions effectively
-Maximizing the potential of the Ken Burns effect, and visual/color editing tools 
-Working with keynote to animate titles
-Using layers of audio files and sound effects to create a mood
-Stop motion techniques
-Green screen & special effects
-Any troubleshooting students may be having with the iMovie platform

Instruction will be demonstration-based, encouraging students to find their own "voice" creatively while maximizing their technical skills using iMovie.
