Thinking of creating a Filmmaking 101 for Actors course, anyone interested?

2 years, 8 months ago - AJ Lamb

Hello all!
So next year I will be starting a short course on Film Production for actors looking to make their first short film.

It will cover,
Scripts, Financing, Budgeting and Scheduling, Insurance, Contracts, Location Scouting, Shot lists,
How to use the camera to tell a better story visually,
Using lighting to create Mood and Tone,
Working with Sound,
Editing and post production Work, and finally delivery and marketing as well as film festival submissions.

The course is coming mainly from the perspective of an actor turning, to directing and or producing, and focusing on short films.

We have some amazing industry professionals who are interested in coming on board as well.

The course will be set over 3-4 days, and will be 95% practical hands on Work and Learning, with potentially the option for 1 on 1 sessions after the course.
we want you to be able to actually physically see and try out the things you learn.

so Just wanted to see if this is something that would be of interest to actors?

NB: This is not an acting course, it is purely for actors who want to get experience being part of the crew or who are looking to make their own short film but don't quite know how.

Location, Prices, and exact dates TBC

All my very best,
AJ :)
