Storytelling
Movie making is one of the most powerful way to tell a story. It combines visual elements with sound elements to create an engaging story. The director is really giving the audience a glimpse into his or her imagination.
Location Scout
There are a ton of great spots to film at The Westin, so on the first day of camp we spend time finding those spots and practicing capturing good footage.
Story Boards
It always helps to have a visual plan for your movie. Creating a story board goes a long way in creating the plan. It’s also a great way to come up with new ideas and possibilities.
"Quiet on the Set!"
Once our story boards are laid out, we begin filming the scenes of everyone’s movie. Just like in Hollywood, sometimes the scene needs several takes, and sometimes we get it right on the very first take.
Post-Production
After the footage is captured, we move on to the post-production phase. It’s here where the movie is truly made. Clips are edited, special effects may be created, animations added, sound effects timed, and music added.
Perhaps Steven Speilberg described the process of making movies best with this quote:
"I dream for a living."
