Filmmaking 101: How to make your own movies, step by step
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Want to learn the basics of filmmaking, but don't want to spend
$30,000 to $100,000 for film school? This class will teach you
the basics you need to get started, at a tuition that won't break
the bank. Whether you're interested in making home movies for
the fun of it, making shorts or features for film festivals, or
making commercials, web videos, or promotional materials for your
business.... whether you're aiming for a career as a filmmaker,
or just learning about filmmaking as a hobby ... this enjoyable,
information-packed course will get you off to a great start. You'll
learn about:
- how movies are made (the three stages of production, and what needs to be done during each stage)
- cameras and camcorders (high def and standard def, consumer, prosumer and pro models, and how to find a camcorder that has the features you need, at a price you can afford... where to rent camcorders inexpensively in Seattle... and even a way to get use of a camcorder for free)
- camera angles, including closeups, medium shots, and more, and how to use them to tell your stories
- how to record high quality audio, and avoid common audio problems
- all about lighting: how to use inexpensive lighting effects to dramatically improve your movies
Plus: how to hold auditions; where to find actors, and how to hold auditions; how to get your movie into film festivals; and some key information about copyright issues, release forms and more. More Seattle film classes
