영화 및 방송 교육: 기본 및 그 이상

The course will cover a wide range of topics geared toward giving students a comprehensive look at the film and television world. They will be taught screenwriting, producing, tech requirements and cameras, cinematography, directing, audio, voice over, editing, storyboarding, animation, and more.

Our final project entails each student producing their own short film and will be included in a student film festival. In order to be eligible to participate in the final project, students must complete at least 80% of their assignments.

No special equipment is required. Students will need access to a cellphone or other camera for filming. Any basic editing software will be fine. There are many free options online that we will discuss with the students. Other than that, they will need reliable internet for the group classes and to receive their video assignments. Commitment and dedication are also required. Students will get out of the course what they put into it. To excel in this curriculum students will need to finish their assignments, as each one builds on the last.
