6-Week Filmmaking (LA)

In NYFA’s six-week film camp for teens, students aged 14-17 study the art and craft of filmmaking. Through hands-on projects and coursework, students quickly learn how to direct, write, edit, and produce their own short films. This intensive film summer camp offers aspiring visual storytellers the opportunity to learn how to make a short film. Using professional-grade HDSLR cameras, professional lighting, and sound equipment, students create original video content, learning fundamental skills and techniques. Throughout the course, students study and practice a range of topics such as basic screenwriting structure, and how to edit and manage post-production, as well as how to direct actors. The final film that each student creates during the camp also incorporates dialogue using sync-sound. The projects that students create receive feedback and guidance from faculty, as well as their peers.
