YEYAE 27 - YAE: Film Production: Tools & Techniques (Age 13-15)

With a host of equipment you would usually only find on a film set, this week is packed with hands-on opportunities to play with the gear and figure out how it works. Each day we will take real film scenarios and interpret them as a team. How to light it, where the action is, what's motivating the camera movement, what lens will best capture the scene's intent? These are all the things you want to be tending to as a filmmaker but just haven't had the time or the budget. Let's explore them here. We'll be using professional cameras, a variety of lenses, a full package of grip & lighting, and even a full sized dolly & crane. You will learn to pull focus while the camera is in motion. Don't forget the importance of audio. Getting clean discernible dialog is a must. It's time to turn the technical into art!
