    Class Introduction - By the end of this class, you will have created and completed a short film independently.

    How? You might ask. We'll start with your ORIGINAL idea and you'll take direct action as we (well, you) work through it by using the tools that have enabled me to complete 12 feature films. I'll share all my tools and resources through these steps:

    Idea - Outline - Theme & Genre - Writing - Production - Cinematography - Directing - Editing

    Take a deeeeeeeeeep breath, relax, shoulders down, and enjoy the CREATIVE process!

Description

This class is for anyone who is starting or has done a couple of film projects; in either case, this class will deepen your understanding of creative filmmaking. Your Class Project is doing a 1-3 minute short film. All you need for this class is a camera, something to write on, and a computer to edit your film.

Everything starts with your Idea, and that's where we'll start. We'll dive into tools like Theme and Genre to extract it. We'll explore how to Outline before you start writing your Screenplay. We'll discuss Production, Cinematography, and Directing before hitting the post-production phase.

This course will not only demystify the filmmaking process, but it'll also illuminate your creative strengths and help you identify areas of improvement as an Indie Filmmaker. This class comes with a certificate. When you've completed your film, you can send it to me for review and you'll receive a confirmation of completion.
