Students in the Film Explorer Program will learn about making a film, as well as the film industry, with the goal of producing a film project that will be broadcast over ELC’s YouTube Channel. The Film Explorer Program will introduce students to film and cinema through related activities, including film production workshops (shooting, make-up application, storyboarding) and studio tours. Other activities might include visits to prominent cultural places that have a rich history in the entertainment industry, such as the Hollywood Walk of Fame. During their afternoon activities students in the Film Explorer Program will learn more about filmmaking topics and receive hands-on guidance from an experienced film professional. Upon their departure students will leave with a collection of the scenes that they have shot. At the end of the summer ELC will publish the finished film and credit all of the students involved. The Film Explorer Program is ideal for aspiring filmmakers!
