Digital Production

This course challenges new and returning students to the different creative stages of digital production and filmmaking, from pre-to-post production. Students will learn the deeper aspects of moviemaking using an interactive, hands-on approach to the real-world application for the “Art of Storytelling.”  Students will study and break down how and why movies are made ultimately for our enjoyment and God’s glory. Students will learn how to write screenplays, create shot lists and storyboards, practice lighting, and then film their work on campus with green screens, where they will ultimately edit and produce their creative visions. This course will utilize previous production skills learned, and apply these skills to higher standards of production quality.  NOTE: First-time students are more than welcome to take this class!
Picture's up...roll camera...roll sound...and Action! This course challenges new and returning students to the different creative stages of digital production and filmmaking, from pre-to-post production. Students will learn the deeper aspects of moviemaking using an interactive, hands-on approach to the real-world application for the "Art of Storytelling". Students will study and break down "how" and "why" movies are made ultimately for our enjoyment and God's glory. Students will learn how to write screenplays, create shot lists and storyboards, practice lighting, and then film their work on campus with green screens, where they will ultimately edit and produce their creative visions. This course will utilize previous production skills learned and apply these skills to higher standards of production quality. Eighth graders will learn and use Adobe Premiere (not iMovie) to edit their projects. This course should include field trips to working film sets and production studios to show students the real-life, inner workings of production. NOTE: First-time students are welcome to take this class!
