    Overview

    The Filmmaking Institute is a four-week precollege program for high school students interested in writing, directing, editing, and acting in original movies, while learning the art of visual storytelling. During the Filmmaking Institute we will break down film scenes  into their components and see how these components are pieced together to create a story visually.

    Develop and write scripts using professional scriptwriting software. Learn the art of storyboarding and previsualization, gaining comfort with lighting equipment and directing actors. Gain practice working on a set, creating collaboratively, and learn how to crew. Editing and advanced editing techniques are taught using a professional digital editing system.
