Fall Class Description:
Experience the production process by creating and completing your own media project. This project may be a live-action short, a stop-motion animation short, a storybook short, or something else for the platform of your choice. Projects will be 1 to 2 minutes in length. Bring an existing project to transform, or create and develop something new in class. We will cover fundamentals of production, starting with storytelling basics, character development and discussion of the technical tools you'll need to bring your concept to life. Next, we will expand those ideas with media choices and script creation. We'll explore pre-production aspects like storyboarding, shot lists and acting tips. Then you'll film your stories and move to post-production, learning and using editing techniques like transitions, sound cues and sound effects to polish the raw footage into videos ready for viewing or posting. We will meet virtually on Zoom, and use the equipment you have on hand; smart phone, iPad, laptop, etc.
