COURSE DESCRIPTION
Want to learn the basics of filmmaking, but can't afford to spend
$30,000 for film school? This class can teach you what you need
to know, at a price 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 (you'll learn the differences between
standard and high def camcorders, consumer, prosumer and pro models,
and how to find a camcorder that has the features you need, at
a price you can afford)
- 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; how to get your movie screened and distributed; and some key information about copyright issues, release forms and more. More Seattle film classes
