• Filmmaking- (highschool) We all love movies! Movies help us experience something meaningful,
funny, profound or painful. In this Filmmaking Fine Arts course, we figure out how movies cause us to
experience something.

This course is driven by a short film, 3–5 minutes long, that you will complete by the end of the
semester. To prepare for that project, you will also create a shorter (60-second) film, write a screenplay,
study film history,
and watch and discuss many classic films. We also learn about storytelling, cinematographic elements, video
editing, special effects, and film promotion. Then, at the end of it all, your films will be shown at the Quest Fine
Arts Festival. Whether you desire to work in the film industry or just want to make funny videos of your cat
playing an accordion while walking on a tightrope, this course will give you the basic knowledge to help you
reach your goals. Required Items: pending Teacher: Pending Recommended Donation of $15 per weekly class
