Students will use state-of-the-art cameras, software & computers to bring their own characters & models to life. Green Screen Adventures - Climb Mount Everest, swim the depths of the ocean, or battle dinosaurs! Using a green screen and special photo-editing techniques, you will venture into real or imaginary locations and film the trip to share with friends. Experiment with photos and unique drawing software to set the scene for fantastic adventures. Don't stay at home - jump into a green screen and find yourself some fun!
Documentary Designs - After getting a taste for several different ways to create movies, the student will now focus on creating an original documentary of their choice. They will go through all the steps of the importance of documentaries, how they are made, and actually film their own from start to finish. They will also create a music soundtrack, write critic reviews, and present their documentary for the school in a film festival at the end of the year.
