映画制作

Welcome to the exciting, magical world of Film! This class serves as an introductory course into the concepts of all of the artistic work that goes into making a movie, including writing, screenwriting, acting, cinematography, editing, and directing. Students will be introduced to the concepts of cinema history, director as auteur, practical and digital effects, story analysis, technical analysis, characterization, and vocal performance. Theories in numeracy will be reinforced through learning activities, such as grouping like terms, characters, themes, plots, motifs and through stage design/costume design. Course reinforces grade-level ELA comprehension and writing. Growth and development of the student will be measured by their movement beyond their current skill set, not judged according to other student’s abilities.  

Every week, we have two class sessions. During these sessions, students will learn about a specific topic of filmmaking, and then will be given the chance to express themselves creatively through creating their own stories, camera angles/movements, edits, and ultimately culminating in directing their own short film (1 minute-10 minutes in length) to showcase to the class. Students will interact with me through lecture, discussion, slides, video clips, and more.
