Make Your Own Film (Teenagers)
Make Your Own Film
Ever wondered how a film actually gets made? In this hands-on film-making workshop for teenagers, you’ll go from the blank page to a finished short film in a single day.
In the morning, we’ll explore what makes a story work: a character who wants something, the obstacles in the way and the moments where everything changes. As a group you’ll come up with a story and plan it as a short film. Then, after lunch, we’ll turn the plan into action. We’ll work out everyone’s roles, what the camera sees and how the story moves. We’ll rehearse it and shoot the whole film on a phone, right there in the studio. Everyone leaves with the finished film as a video file to keep and share. No experience needed. All equipment provided. The workshop runs for five hours, with a break for lunch.
