Fairfax Collegiate

Filmmaking 5-6

Students plan, write, shoot, and edit digital video short films. Classes complete two films, one each week.

With the guidance of instructors, students brainstorm ideas for short films, write original scripts, and create shot lists and storyboards.

Students shoot their films using tripods, advanced video cameras, boom microphones, costumes, and props.

Students edit their films, add music and credits, complete post-production, and export their films to a private Vimeo account for home viewing.
