Mini FilmMaker 6-14

Your children are expected:

– Bright emotions and impressions

– New acquaintances, unique experience and knowledge

Children ages 6-14 will have a chance to create short films from start to finish empowering their voice and allowing them to express themselves in a new medium. Ipads will be available for rent or students are encouraged to bring their own Macbooks and iPhones. At the end of the week, parents are welcome to join us as we have a Short Film Festival with snacks and drinks to see all the student’s creations. You never know where their creativity will take them!

In this week-long camp, your child will learn the fundamentals of filmmaking starting at the beginning with storytelling. After we learn about what makes a story interesting we will get hands-on experience of how to best tell that story through camera angles, common film and set practices, lighting and more. Students will also have the chance to step in front of the camera and stretch their acting muscles using improvisation techniques should they show interest. From there we will take our footage to the editing suite where we learn how to manoeuvre through the software interface (iMovie) to compose our final product. Your child will be able to take these skills in storytelling and technology to every aspect of life while having a tone of fun along the way.
