Students encounter live action content every single day – by way of film, television, social media, and so much more. Explore the process of creating a live action video through this interactive workshop, where a professional filmmaker will guide your students through the essential steps of bringing their ideas to life on the big screen. Students will get a hands-on taste of pre-production, filming, and post-production during this movie-making experience, using iPads. We bring all the required equipment to your classroom when we visit!
Each 60-minute workshop includes a combination of lecture and hands-on activities. To ensure the best experience, we recommend limiting reservations to one class per workshop (up to 30 students). On the day of your workshop, the Teaching Artist will check-in at the front office before navigating to your classroom. The Teaching Artist will arrive 10-15 minutes before the workshop is scheduled to begin, and will quietly set up any needed equipment before beginning their presentation.
If you would like your entire grade level to participate in a workshop, or if you would like to request a date/time or location not listed in the booking calendar, please contact the Media Education Department at edu@utahfilmcenter.org. We love teaching multiple workshops when visiting your school and we are happy to arrange custom times that better-align with your bell schedule!
This workshop is only available in-person.
