Filmmaking 5-6
Students learn how to plan, shoot, edit, and complete post-production for digital video short films.
With the guidance of teachers, students brainstorm ideas for a short film, write an original script, and create a shot list and storyboard.
Students shoot the film using a tripod, a Panasonic DVX-100B video camera, a boom microphone, and a lighting kit.
Students edit the film using iMovie or Final Cut Express, add music and credits, complete post-production, and export the film to DVD. If time permits, students score their films using Garage Band.
