 | 2010 Digital Moviemaking
INFORMATION SHEET |
 |
Emphasizing the idea of film as art, campers will enjoy bringing their imaginations to the screen as they learn about all phases of moviemaking, including pre-production planning, storyboarding, digital video cameras, lighting, sound, shot composition, and computer editing. This will be a hands-on, creative, and fun opportunity for campers to express themselves and share and develop their own talents. They will work collaboratively on group projects and each student will receive a copy (vhs or DVD) at the end of the camp. We will schedule a screening of the work at Chicago Filmmakers for parents and friends to view. (See past final projects)
