An exciting and fun 5-day filmmaking adventure where young people will learn all the tricks of Hollywood to make their own short films, online videos, experiencing the challenge and fun of making movie magic! With workshops in the secrets and techniques of being an actor, how to direct, operate camera and sound equipment, write a script and storyboard, all the way through to post production editing on state of the art iMac edit suites. On the last day the students will see their hard work up on the big screen. Guided by experienced film industry professionals, and working with professional film making equipment, students will be encouraged to explore their creativity, build their confidence, work collaboratively and develop new skills such as planning and organising in a series of hands-on workshops on making movies. It will provide students with the opportunity to take on all the front-of-camera and behind-the-scenes roles involved in making a short film. In fact, the A to Z of cinema. The skills learned through making a film apply to all walks of life, and provide young people with a strong base for the future.
