Film: Make a Short

The purpose of this course is to spend 12 weeks applying the knowledge you acquired in the Film basics course into making a short fiction film. You can work either alone, couples or groups.
The focus of the course is on how to translate a pre-existing idea or script into the screen. This is not a screenwriting course; therefore, you will move much faster if you come the course with some ideas or even short scripts that you would like to film.
 
What will you be doing?
Throughout the course you will be guided through the film making process, from the pre-production stages until the final editing of the film. The goal is to film, edit and complete a full short fiction film from the idea to the final product and within 12 weeks.
 
This is a hands-on, workshop-based course, where knowledge is eminently practical. This means that you will have to work on the film outside of the class hours and bring your progress to the class regularly, where you will receive feedback to continue working on it. Since you may need to film new material several times during the course, you will need to have frequent access to the subjects and locations involved in the film. Do you have footage for a film already shot but you don’t know how to shape into a meaningful film? This course is also great for you.
 
Note: This course focuses only on Fiction filmmaking. If you are interested in Documentary Filmmaking, please check our other courses available.
