Our flagship class introduces filmmakers aged 11-14 to the world of documentary filmmaking. Through hands-on lessons, creative prompts, and small-group collaboration, students learn how to transform everyday life into powerful visual stories.
What They’ll Explore:
Story and Point of View - What makes a true story meaningful? How do we choose a subject? Why does perspective matter?
Interviewing and Listening - Students learn to craft thoughtful questions, conduct empathetic interviews, and capture authentic voices.
Camera Basics - Framing, composition, movement, and how to shoot with intention (using beginner-friendly video cameras or smartphones).
Editing Fundamentals - How to build a narrative, find emotion in the footage, and add rhythm, clarity, and creative choices.
What They’ll Make:
By the end of the course, each student will create a short documentary project - from idea to final cut. We will celebrate their work with a screening for families and friends!
Course required materials: a camera or smartphone capable of video and access to an editing app. We will provide suggestions ahead of the lab.
