The easy way for kids to get started with filmmaking
If you've been bitten by the filmmaking bug--even if you don't have a
background in video or access to fancy equipment--Digital Filmmaking
For Kids makes it easy to get up and running with digital filmmaking!
This fun and friendly guide walks you through a ton of cool projects
that introduce you to all stages of filmmaking. Packed with full-color
photos, easy-to-follow instruction, and simple examples, it shows you
how to write a script, create a storyboard, pick a set, light a scene,
master top-quality sound, frame and shoot, edit, add special effects,
and share your finished product with friends or a global audience.
Anyone can take a selfie or upload a silly video to YouTube--but it
takes practice and skill to shoot professional-looking frames and make
your own short film. Written by a film and video professional who has
taught hundreds of students, this kid-accessible guide provides you with
hands-on projects that make it fun to learn all aspects of video
production, from planning to scripting to filming to editing. Plus, it
includes access to videos that highlight and demonstrate skills covered
in the book, making learning even easier and less intimidating to grasp.
