F26: Intro To Digital Filmmaking

This lecture-based course teaches participants the basics of how a movie is taken from concept to the screen and includes an optional final project.

Intro to Digital Filmmaking is our prerequisite to Video Lab, and the perfect course for people who are new to filmmaking and want to learn the fundamentals through lecture-based classes.

In this course, participants will learn about the life cycle of a film, from Concept & Development to Pre-Production, to Production, to Post-Production. By the end of this course, students will know everything that goes into making a movie, and will have excellent insight into producing. This course includes an optional final project in which students may create a mock production timeline for a film and submit it for individualized feedback.

Registrants will receive:

• All presentation slides in PDF format.

• Cheat sheets on film production.

• Experience making production timelines (these are required for most film grants).

• Individualized feedback online resources to further their education

  More about Katie:

“I'm a full-time freelance video and photo shooter with aspirations of making my living shooting documentaries and music videos. My experience ranges from weddings and real estate to live performances and short narrative pieces. I shoot primarily on Panasonic mirrorless cameras at the moment, but have experience on most other SLRs and midrange camcorders. Because of my time working in gear rentals, I'm a quick learn at just about anything out there. My favourite projects are the ones with a human component, or any time I'm asked to stretch beyond what I think I can do.”
