Sobre el evento:
SWAMP presents the 2024 Young Filmmakers Bootcamp, a three-week intensive workshop designed for creatives age 12 and up. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, guest speakers, discussions, and workshops, campers will form a basic understanding of the production process, from conceptualization to post-production, and transform their ideas into proper screenplays and short films of their own.
This year we are limiting camps to a maximum of 15 per session and implementing CDC guidelines.
Over the course of the camp students will:
-
Learn the fundamentals of screenwriting, producing, directing, cinematography, and editing.
-
Learn about different jobs in the film industry what each crew member does, and the production process.
-
Gain an understanding of storytelling, screenplay structure, examples of various narrative and genre styles.
-
Write their own screenplays in a workshop setting.
-
Learn about the business of film, releases, contracts, and all the legal documents needed to successfully make and present a film.
-
Students will learn camera techniques, functionality, and operation, as well as the basics of lighting and sound.
-
Gain experience using equipment through the Houston Media Source, which they will have access to after the camp.
-
Learn how to work as a crew, how to storyboard, how to direct, and how to edit.
-
Screen their films at the end of the workshop, and will post them online for friends and family to view.
