The Filmmaking Experience:

Does your son or daughter enjoy watching movies, telling stories or performing for others? Does your child show an interest in filmmaking? Let them learn from local filmmakers the process of making a Super 8 film.

This five day, filmmaking camp will give your child the chance to experience what it is like to make a film. Through a variety of exercises they will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with various pieces of celluloid filmmaking equipment. They will also learn some fun theory behind the filmmaking process.

Participants collaborate as a team to produce a two to three-minute Colour Super 8 film. Each student will have the opportunity to direct, act and use the camera. Here’s what they’ll learn:

ACTING & DIRECTING:
Introduction to acting & directing through the use of drama exercises. Students work together to create two short stories in which they will film the following day using a Super 8mm film camera. An instructor will provide guidelines and assistance in creating these stories. Kids will learn how to create storyboards. They'll be introduced to Super 8mm cameras;

THE SUPER 8 FILM SHOOT:
Most of the day will be spent filming the stories that have been created. Each student will have the opportunity to direct, act and use the camera. Students will also get the opportunity to learn about lighting and lighting equipment through watching and assisting the instructor in the lighting of each scene;

CAMERALESS ANIMATION:
Students will be painting and scratching directly onto 16mm film. They will later project the film to see the effect that they have created without using a camera;
