Filmmaking 101: Student Films

   In the Upper School, we're making a transition to the second semester. First semester classes finished up on Friday, among them a Filmmaking class which I taught.  The students had a number of different video production assignments in addition to other learning activities. 
   
   The first assignment asked each student to create a 30 second advertisement. The next assignment asked students to create a promotional video for a school club or activity. Next, students worked on montage editing. Students then worked in small groups on varying longer films and other projects.

   I've been impressed with our student filmmakers.  I though you might enjoy seeing some of their work.  In this first section, several of the 30 second ads appear.

Finally, Wes Spear created a really fine montage-style clip featuring Hockenbury:
