Interested in learning the basics of film making? In this collaborative program, kids ages 11-13 will work together to create a short video (either a 1-2 minute movie trailer, music video or short film) by writing a script outline, creating shot lists and storyboards, then shooting the movie as a team with their own smartphones. Instructors will help edit the videos, put in music, sound effects and graphics to finish everything with the kids' guidance, then everyone will watch them for final approval before being sent the finished videos for their friends and family to see!
