Film Camp for Teens at Fairfield University

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 23, 2011 -- Teens Invited to Movie-making Camp at Fairfield University

A filmmaking summer camp is being offered to high school students for the first time this summer by Fairfield University’s Media Center, home of the University’s undergraduate New Media Film, Television and Radio program. Topics covered include film language and technique, screenwriting, camera operation, lighting elements, audio recording, directing, producing, and digital editing. The camp will take place within the Media Center facilities with state of the art, high definition equipment and advanced postproduction hardware and software.

Students will receive intensive individual instruction throughout the week, leading to production and screening of their own short digital films. They will direct their own films while learning the processes of pre-production, production and post-production of filmmaking as well as serve on crew positions of the films of their fellow students.

Each student film will be screened before an audience of fellow-campers, family and friends at the camp’s film festival, when awards will be given for best film, directing, cinematography, writing and editing. Each student takes home a DVD copy of their work and a packet for film festival submission.

Three camp sessions are being offered: July 10-16, July 17-23 and July 24-30. For more information, please go to www.fairfield.edu/filmcamp.
