CAMP HOLLYWOOD

2009 - Our 6th year of classes!!!!

LIGHTS . . . CAMERA . . . ACTION!!

Join us for two weeks of amazing Acting, Improv, Storytelling and Filmmaking as Video One brings you Camp Hollywood!

Spend the weeks working as a team to write and create short films. Experience the movie-making process from beginning ideas to editing a DVD - and learn acting, improvisation, writing, directing, camera work, lighting and editing.

In each camp, all students will have a chance to choose a filmmaking focus. Students interested in performance will have additional opportunities in front of the camera, while those with a more technical interest spend more time working with cameras, sound and lights. In this way everyone gets the film experience that best suits him or her.

Each camp is a guaranteed educational experience wrapped in non-stop fun. And always, our camps focus on creativity, imagination, discovery and teamwork.

Camps are for ages 11-15 and are held Monday through Friday from 10:00-3:30 in downtown Bellingham.

SUMMER 2009

This summer, our focus will be the short film. We will create a number of 3-minute films in various styles, looking at storytelling, acting and cinematic style and the choices that make our ideas come to life.

 

Week One
Making your Movie

AGES 12-15 yrs
June 22 - 26

Students use improvisational theater and storytelling exercises to create characters and stories for the screen. Students also learn the elements of camera, lighting, sound and directing as they film their stories and edit into a DVD. Camp will focus on using the cameras, lighting gear and equipment that students may already have around the house. We will spend extra time looking at various "styles" of filmmaking - from acting choices to cinematography - to find a style that best suits your film.

 

Week Two
Film Skills

AGES 12-15 yrs
June 29 - July 3

This week is for the student who is interested in a more in-depth look at the skills of acting, directing, camera and lighting. Students will run through a variety of exercises including: Improvisation, Scripted Film Acting, Lighting Design, Cinematography. We will concentrate on creating films with higher production value to add to our YouTube account and the DVD.
