YOUNG
MOVIE MAKER
Instructor: Claudia
Jurt
July 21 - July 28 10am - 6pm + one
day/evening to screen the finished project
Cost: $499.00
This exciting summer camp for young actors is a unique introduction
to the overall process of creating a video from start to finish.
Participants will rehearse and block a script written for them by a
professional screenwriter. They will work as a team to design the
set, costumes and sound. The script is then videotaped with the
participants as the actors. Not only will they participants perform
in the video, they will learn about many of the other roles on set.
Once everything has been shot, the young actors will sit-in on the
editing session to see how an editor/director edits their scenes.
By following this process our young actors will:
-
Act in a mini-movie
written with them in mind
-
Learn how to find
a story in a scene
-
Discover what a
director is looking for during taping
-
Work in an actual
production setting
-
Learn how to
ensure continuity in a scene
-
See how scenes are
cut and manipulated
-
Find out how an
actor can end up on the proverbial, "cutting room floor"
Are you building a
video resume? This course will leave you with a good clip for
your demo reel. Every participant will receive a VHS copy of the
finished project with an actual movie cover with the actors names and
a movie photo on the case. Class size is limited. There will be
a screening held upon completion of the course for all participants,
their families and friends. (Date TBD)
