Last year, following a semester of teaching Filmmaking, I posted a few of the films students created. I received plenty of positive feedback; readers enjoyed seeing what Upper School students could create when given some time, direction and encouragement.
This year's class is different from last year in two specific ways. The group, at least during the first semester, is smaller. Only three students are enrolled. And importantly, all three were completely novice filmmakers. They needed to learn everything from script writing to story boarding to camera work to editing. These very substantial challenges were met with the enthusiasm and persistence of students who really wanted to learn how to create a film.Individual and group projects were completed through the semester. Below, a sampling of some of the work completed by Marisa, Stephen and Alex.
Stephen created a promotional piece for a Film Appreciation Club
Marisa's short film highlights the benefits of mechanical pencils
A promotional short by Marisa encourages participation in the Model U.N Club
Alex's short film about Habitat for Humanity utilizes stop action
A group effort, this film's recounts GSB's Halloween 2013 celebration and was co-created by all three students
