KIDSEYE SUMMER FILMMAKING WORKSHOPS GO VIRTUAL …
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR 2020
Reserve your space now for the 22nd year of the KidsEye Summer Virtual Filmmaking Workshop.
The dates are AUGUST 3-7, 2020
The fee for the one-week program is $95 per registration.
THE BACKSTORY:
The Flickers’ KidsEye Filmmaking Workshop for Summer 2020 will be a collaboration with Give Me 5, The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA), the Rhode Island Film and Television Office, and the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE), offers a unique opportunity for high school and middle school students to learn the ins and outs of film production.
Students will work with instructors to write, shoot and edit a short film that will then be showcased in classrooms throughout Rhode Island as part of Flickers’ annual Vortex Film Festival in October. The workshop will explore the possibilities of making moving images with readily available cameras found at home (cellphones). The goal of the workshop is to teach students the necessary elements needed to construct a story visually. Image composition, natural lighting, sound design, and editing are all important components that will be covered during the week-long workshop.
At the conclusion of the 5-day program, students will have completed a short film that they will be able to use as a portfolio piece when looking to further their film education or search for roles within the creative industry.
The goal of this workshop is to introduce students to the possibilities of filmmaking as a form of creative expression using the resources already available to them. There is no better time than now to spark a lifelong passion in filmmaking.
This year, due to COVID-19 and our concern about the health of our campers, we will be offering two online camps. Each will be limited to 15 students.
