Film.Ca Academy

Intro to Filmmaking (Grades 3+)
Wednesdays at 5:30PM starting Sept 16th

1.5-hour classes
10 weeks per session
Red Carpet Showcase night

At this stage, students are introduced to storytelling basics and the foundation of film making. Students interests and individual experience levels are built upon throughout each session, and advancements are made as students are ready.

During the 10-week course, participants will create scripts & storyboards and learn & use proper filmmaking terminology, while also touching on some acting skills. They will also have hands on time with various pieces of video-making equipment – digital cameras, professional lighting, green screens, editing software, etc.

While each filmmaking experience is unique, we aim to have approximately 85% of hours spent on the filming process of their own short film, and a brief intro of 15% of hours touching upon on different filming techniques such as, commercial, broadcasting, and social media.

This academic course is for the budding, enthusiastic Junior Filmmaker in your family. Students should come ready and willing to work as part of a team as they learn the very basics of filming and editing.

Showcase Night: Each session will host a Red Carpet screening. This fun event allows our students the opportunity to invite friends and family to celebrate their project on the Big Screen. This will be a 30-45min event and will include all programs product from the Session.
