Join Reel Stories online to learn the basics of filmmaking, including: cinematography, editing, animation, script writing and more!

About this event

**This course runs for eight consecutive Thursdays - beginning October 14th through December 9th - the same Zoom link & password will be used each week. To receive the Zoom conferencing information, please register on Eventbrite and the link will be sent in the confirmation email**

Course Description:

In 2021, Reel Stories online will host 8 consecutive online classes introducing students to the world of filmmaking. Each Thursday afternoon (PST), our students will meet together online for an hour and a half to learn a new aspect of filmmaking: media literacy, story development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, cinematography, art department, sound recording, foley, and an introduction to animation. Students will be encouraged to complete mini tasks related to each week’s topic that they feel inspired by to enhance their understanding of the filmmaking process and receive feedback from their classmates and their instructor. This program is unique in that you do not have to be based near our offices in Northern California to participate - you can join us from anywhere in the world!

**Our program is open to girls and non-binary students ages 12-18.**

Details:

Filmmaking classes will be held on Thursdays at 4 p.m. PST via Zoom from October. 14th through December 9th. We will have Thanksgiving day off. Every week our media teacher will be focusing on another aspect of filmmaking. We ask that students try to commit to the full 8 weeks to get the most out of the experience, but if you cannot make one week we will be able to send you the recording so you don't miss anything. By the end of this after school program, our goal is that students will have a better understanding of how to create a short film and will be prepared to advance to the next level in their filmmaking aspirations. This is a beginner course - no prior experience is required. We only ask that our students come curious and open-minded about the endless possibilities of storytelling!

WHO: Women and Non-binary youth ages 12 - 18

DATES: Weekly Thursdays October 14th-December 9th

TIME: 4:00 PM PST - 5:30 PM PST

Who We Are:

Reel Stories is an Oakland-based nonprofit that aims to train, mentor and support the next generation of female-identifying/non-binary filmmakers and creators. Our small yet mighty team has been working relentlessly to transition all of our in-person workshops into a digital-friendly format for people of all ages, genders and backgrounds.

Virtual Classes:

Since Reel Stories transitioned to virtual learning in March 2020 we have discovered that our youth are craving community now more than ever - and we are working to hold space for their creative needs, while seamlessly staying true to our mission of training the next generation of female-identifying and non-binary filmmakers. We encourage you to share and enjoy access to our content no matter where you are in the world - welcome to our online community!
