Digital Filmmaking (Script to Screen)

This course is structured for emerging filmmakers & media creators who need a comprehensive introduction to all phases for film production.

Our method of teaching is hands-on with real film equipment and an actual production of your own short film.

You will learn everything that goes into creating a film and your final film will be eligible to screen at multiple showcases produced by Austin School of Film. A portion of this class includes feedback of work-in-progress.

Topics covered include:

• concept + pitching

• screenwriting for film, creating your screenplay

• casting, actors and auditions

• production management & scheduling

• crew roles

• directing actors and crew members

• sound recording

• shooting: cameras, lights, art direction

• marketing your film

• entering festivals

This class will feature guest artists, filmmakers and industry professionals who work & live in Austin, Texas. At the end of this course students will have completed a short film from start to finish, networked with both new & established filmmakers, & attained new skills to keep creating films.
