Media Education
The Art of Watching Movies
REQUEST A SESSION
Movies are more than entertainment—they’re a powerful form of storytelling. In this interactive workshop, students discover how filmmakers use cinematography, sound, editing, production design, and other creative techniques to shape a story and influence the audience’s experience. Through guided discussion and film analysis, students strengthen media literacy and critical thinking skills while learning to recognize the creative choices behind every scene. This workshop offers an engaging new way to explore storytelling, visual communication, and the art of filmmaking.
This workshop is available in-person and online via Zoom.
What to Expect –
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 [email protected].
