Filmmaking (HS) - 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 Instructor: Pending
