Learn Professional Filmmaking Techniques from Filmmaking Professionals

This is a crash course in effective video pre-production, production and post-production for the aspiring digital filmmaker. It’s for anyone who wants to learn simple and practical techniques for making movies, web video, music videos, documentaries or any other kind of visual story.

During the week, you’ll take part in engaging and interactive demonstrations and go through the process of an actual production. Each student will have a chance to practice how to set up shots, shoot using appropriate camera techniques and produce well-lit video with great sound.

At the end of the week, you’ll learn basic post-production techniques as you edit your projects with Final Cut Pro®.
