Digital Production - 7th Grade

Picture's up...roll camera...roll sound...and Action! In today's world, movies, music, and pop culture play a prominent role in how we live our lives. This course introduces students to the different creative stages of digital production and filmmaking, from pre-to-post production. Students will stretch their skill levels using interactive hands-on approaches to the real-world art of moviemaking and 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 professionally 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 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!
