MACSD Young Creators After-School Workshop

Objectives: During this 6-week workshop, students practice the core aspects of filmmaking: pre-production, production and post-production, as well as Stop Motion animation and Green Screen. Age Cohorts: 8-10, 12-14, 16-18.

• Pre-production:  create a narrative for either a fictional or documentary project, illustrate their narrative through the incorporation of camera angle variation, and critically plan their production (i.e. locations, props, on-screen talent).

• Production: demonstrate basic functions of a camera and tripod, how to direct and frame shots/objects/actors, and how to use their bodies as actors or performative objects. 

• Post-production: critically review their work, and create their own soundtrack with found/original sounds, editing their final cut.
