This practical course takes students through the process of using a smartphone to make a short film. In the pre-production phase, students will learn how to conceptualise a story and create a storyboard. In the production phase, students will shoot their film and record their audio, based on the storyboard they created. They will learn basic visual aspects of filmmaking such as composition and lighting. Finally, in the post-production phase, students will learn to use readily available software to edit the video and audio for their film. Students will also learn to export their film for publishing. Undergirding the course is the requirement to tell a meaningful story with an emphasis on community, social consciousness, and inclusivity.
