Sample Workshops
LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
Is TV production for me? Is it all glamour and celebrity? Explore the world around the camera and find out how tragic bad lighting can be, that sound is as important as picture, and the significance of scientific and mathematical knowledge in the industry. Animation Using basic software such as Adobe Flash, students become immersed in the intense process required to produce some of their favorite films by creating original characters and animating them on screen. Language arts and technological skills are developed, along with an appreciation for what goes into a feature-length cartoon.
UP, DOWN, AND ALL AROUND
Digital cameras allow a photographer to take a large number of photos of the same object or scene. Use this opportunity to explore individual and group perspectives of a shared subject. Students learn the basics of digital photography and the wide array of group members’ viewpoints.
COMMUNITY BULLETIN
Is there a “hot topic” in your community? Students explore the challenges of researching a topic objectively, working through the pre- and post-production process of filming a television spot straight through the final cuts to create a public service announcement for the community. Share it at assemblies, PTA meetings, or even on a local cable station.
