If you're between 14 and 18 years old and are passionate about filmmaking then this course has been designed especially for you. Over three weeks you'll be able to try your hand at a variety of different roles, from directing to editing and everything in between. Supported at every stage by industry professionals you will learn how to write scenes, use a camera to tell stories, edit using Final Cut Pro® and direct actors.

Fun and challenging, you should be aware that you'll need to work hard, often under significant time pressure. It's an opportunity to develop organisational skills and learn how to work effectively as part of a team.

Learning Objectives:

The fundamentals of story
The key elements of cinematography, including lighting, framing, and shooting for the edit
How to work with actors, including casting, preparing for a shoot, blocking and rehearsing
How to record sound and how it can be used to dramatic effect
How to operate a non-linear editing system to create meaningful sequences
How the roles of scriptwriter, director, cinematographer, sound recordist, storyboard artist, editor and continuity assistant interrelate through the experience of performing these roles yourself

If you're more interested in acting, rather than filmmaking, check out our Young Actors Academy
