Storytelling Through Moving Images

Filmmaking is a powerful vehicle for making sense of our lives and sharing the stories we want to tell. It is also an appealing way for artists to showcase and promote their work through a short film of their art created with little editing. Learn the skills you need, from framing and storyboarding to shooting and editing, to express your point of view through creation of video art. 

Over 4 sessions, you’ll learn the various types of camera angles and foundational rules for framing that make a moving image both aesthetically pleasing and expressive, as well as the basics of how to cut and rearrange video footage into a meaningful scene or sequence. Students will primarily use their phone for projects, but there will be access to additional camera equipment.
