OUR BASIC FILMMAKING COURSE

​

If you have a passion for film and a real desire to learn what it takes to put it together from idea development to post-production, our Basic Filmmaking course is for you. Explore different genres, find your voice and learn the core technical and creative skills – from camera operating to editing your story. 

​

Filmmaking can be intimidating.  In this course, we breakdown the process in simple form and take participants through  a group project.  By the end of the course, you will understand the key roles in each stage of production and come out with a finished short film produced by the group.  

 

You will also be responsible for a one- to two- minute film that you will write, shoot, and edit.  Whatever your skill level, you will come away with a deeper understanding of how to move an idea from concept to completion.

 

Basic Filmmaking meets in person on Saturdays 10 AM - 2 PM.

The cost of this hands-on course is $600.

 

Over the course of 6-weeks students will be taught the following:

• The three phases of production (pre-production, production, and post-production)

• How to utilize portable video cameras (iris control, focus control, color balancing, shot composition, and camera movement)

• The fundamentals of audio, as well as types of microphones and microphone placement

• The fundamentals of lighting

• How to conduct site surveys for videotaping locations

• How to use camera angles, lighting, sound, music, and voices to convey messages and tell stories

• How to cooperate and work on teams to complete projects

• How to edit short videos

• And we'll cover much much more!
