Course description:

Filmmaking

Whether you want to make compelling documentaries or blockbuster feature films, you need to understand the basics before anyone yells, “Action!” This high-altitude introduction lets students actually make a film while learning every aspect: direction, cinematography, editing — even special effects and soundtracks. Learn the details of screenwriting from initial story idea to final draft. Experience how directing, paired with cinematography and smart lighting, bring a script to life. Ground yourself in the important technical essentials, from the best equipment to the right way to select film stock or digital video gear. You’ll also visit the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures! Who knows, you might be on your way to becoming the next Spielberg!

Instructors will create their own syllabus to be approved by ACA based off the course description.
