Event details
Have you ever considered becoming a filmmaker? What stages do films go through from the first idea to the final screening? Join us on a step-by-step journey from a film’s conception, through storyboarding, filming and editing to its release and distribution.
Using selected film clips and through interactive activities, we will explore each stage of filmmaking while discussing genre, comprehension of what we see and hear on screen, and how trailers persuade audiences to watch a film.
Pupils will even get a chance to be foley artists and create their own film sound effects live on stage!
