Curate your artistic expression through the art of film! In this class, students will concentrate on developing their visual storytelling and critical thinking skills through a series of writing and directing exercises and short film viewings. We will also cover collaboration between filmmakers and actors, blocking and camera placement, generation of ideas, pitches and loglines, and the screenwriting process. Students will have an opportunity to make short, five-minute films to share with friends and family.
