A Summer Filmmaking Workshop for Teens
August
(4 days during one week in August - TBA)
9:45am - 1:00pm
There may be an additional session on Zoom
Ages 13-18
Cost: 1200 NIS and 125 NIS materials fee
Equipment needed: Students should have a quality phone or digital camera
Location: Jerusalem
(the class takes place primarily outdoors, with some indoor activity, and students will have work to do outside of class time)
Students learn how to create a film with their phone or camera, including finding the idea, writing a basic script or outline, using video settings, recording audio, lighting techniques, basic intro to video editing, using stock clips and music. We also take a brief look at acting and directing and interviewing subjects on camera. In this hands-on course, the class will create a short film related to Jerusalem. Each student will also create a short film about their personal life, be it individual or family. One lesson component will be on stop-motion animation, a creative movie-making genre that students can work on using model toys, objects, letters, or clay. Completed films will be posted on social media to be shared with family and friends.
Class size limited to 10 students. Enrollment with permission of the instructor. Camera with manual controls or smartphone with quality camera required for course. Consult instructor for guidance, Judah S. Harris (E: [email protected]).
