Have you always dreamed of creating your own movies? Now you can go from being a simple moviegoer to an actual movie maker!
The 12-hour private course at your premises (6 sessions x 2 hours) with a professional filmmaker & actor will teach you everything you need to know to start creating your own films and movies - be it for private or career reasons!
From understanding how the movie making industry works to writing a compelling script and learning how to turn that script into a real movie using the right production and editing techniques. Since a movie can only be as good as it's script, your instructor will also show you how to unleash your creativity with various exercises that will help you develop creative story ideas and screenplays during the pre-production phase.
As you progress through the lessons, you will learn how to resolve and improvise solutions when original plans are not feasible during the movie production phase. Finally, you will know how to modify existing material into a completed creative work during the post-production phase.
Objectives:
By the end of the course, you will be able to turn any idea into a movie in the best way creatively and technically with the right tools and orientation.
