Filmmaking

Rising Grades 5 to 6

Make short films and work through all the stages of production.

In small groups students brainstorm ideas for a short film, write an original script, create shot lists, and draw storyboards. Next they cast roles, rehearse scenes, procure costumes and props, and shoot and edit their film.

Students use tripod-stabilized video cameras, external microphones, and iMovie. They share films to a private website for home viewing.
