About

This practical, hands on beginners class that will introduce you to the digital video cameras, audio equipment, editing software and production processes you need to create your own short films. You’ll practice scripting a story, planning and production, framing and lighting shots, recording location audio, adding sound effects and music, and finally editing all those assets together into a short and effective video to share on YouTube™.  Students will work in small groups, sharing the various responsibilities of direction, visuals, and audio for their teams.

The workshop will occur over three weekends with 3 hour sessions on Saturdays and Sundays. Your final work will be presented to family and friends at an informal Show ‘n Tell at the end of the course on Sunday afternoon. 

Video cameras will be provided, but feel free to bring your own cameras or smart phones. You will be required to bring a 32 Gigabyte SD card for video recording.
