Student Reviews
Thank you, ATC! My daughter Anna loved taking part in the course and it has solidified her love of film and in carving out a future career in the industry. She learned so much over the week of the course!
My daughter’s experience has been very positive; she has learnt to use an application with which she created her own film. She had great fun while doing it, developing her creativity, and motivation.
Filmmaking & Scriptwriting
The Film Making and Screenwriting camp is designed to encourage hands-on, discovery learning in a fun and active environment. This tasks and final project in this camp encourages students to not only harness their creativity, but to hone their planning and problem solving still too.
Our instructors provide input regarding writing and planning techniques, camera angles, film history and directors’ techniques. Students have the opportunity to do their own research, discuss their findings and plan their film. They then put all their new knowledge into practice through writing their own screenplay, storyboarding their film and finally shooting and editing it. Students are encouraged to collaborate, problem solve and learn through doing in order to complete their final project. At the end of the camp, they have the opportunity to reflect on their achievements and how they might approach the project differently if they were to do it again.
