Moviemaking

Lights, camera, action!

Get creative. Explore the art of digital moving images. Tell your story through movies.

In Moviemaking, students explore and develop their creativity through making movies. Through many hands-on projects, students learn and practice skills such as using lighting effectively, using various microphones and cameras, using green screens, and editing in Final Cut.
