Aspiring young film-makers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the film production process this summer at our Filmmaking Workshop, presented by Mason’s Film & Video Studies program.
Precluded by the one-week Screenwriting Workshop, June 27 – July 1, the two-week Filmmaking Workshop focuses on the many aspects of film production, including:
- directing
- videography
- location sound
- editing
Students will direct, shoot and even act in original short films. By the end of the two weeks, students will have a completed video which will be published online. Mason Film & Video Studies professor Amanda Kraus will instruct participants, using university resources, equipment, and facilities. Past student films have included comedies, dramas, and thrillers.
The Workshop is divided into two age groups to maintain age-appropriate story content for each group:
FILMMAKING WORKSHOP FOR AGES 11-14, JULY 25 – AUGUST 5
FILMMAKING WORKSHOP FOR AGES 15-18, JULY 11 – JULY 22
