Pepperdine - Digital Film
Perfect the art of visual storytelling. Become the filmmaker you dream you are. For one week you will eat, drink, and sleep movies.DetailsBy the end of the first day of camp, each group has begun the process of learning about movies by completing a short five shot exercise in camera. During the week campers will drink, eat and sleep movies working with a state of the art digital camera, Apple computer and Final Cut Pro editing software. Guest speakers will feature their work on Hollywood movies and talk about storyboarding, cinematography and editing. Groups of five or six campers will write, storyboard, direct, act and shoot their own movie, then edit on Final Cut Pro. Camp starts each morning with a production meeting viewing movies made by kids and former campers, challenging the imagination as we see what works and how movies get put together shot by shot. It's a week crammed full of information, new friends and exciting possibilities with a final screening of the "Works in Progress" on Saturday afternoon. Often campers who have come to the digital film camp have continued their studies in some of the best film schools in America. Former campers now attend film schools at U.S.C., New York University, Chapman University, as well as Loyolla-Marymount, UCLA, Cal Arts and other schools. Often, campers draw on their experiences at camp to determine which direction they will take in college.
