Half-day workshops
Students attending a film have the option of adding one of these two half-day workshops.

Constructing a Scene
Instructor: Carolyn Combs
This workshop is designed for the budding writer, director or actor who wants to make a film, or those who are just curious about how the pros do it. How are films made? In small groups, participants will collaborate on a scene including scriptwriting, rehearsing, blocking, designing the shots… then actually shooting that prep! Students will walk away with the skills to construct their own scene.
Participants in this workshop may sign up to attend the Young Filmmakers Showcase on Thursday April 19. It’s an opportunity to see what other youth in BC are working on.
10:00 – 11:30am, Cineworks (1131 Howe St)
12:30 – 2:00pm, Cineworks (1131 Howe St)

Light in Motion
Instructor: Cindy Mochizuki
Glow, sparkle and shine with artist Cindy Mochizuki and learn how to create a short animation using only light. Participants will use digital point-and-shoot cameras to take long exposure images that can be crafted into stop motion images that give the illusion that the light is effortlessly flying through the air.
10:00 – 11:30am, Cineworks (1131 Howe St)
12:30 – 2:00pm, Cineworks (1131 Howe St)

Full-day workshops at the Roundhouse Community Centre, 181 Roundhouse Mews.

Sound Design Master Class

Good sound is a must. Students will explore the three essential ingredients of a soundtrack: dialogue, sound effects and music. Small teams will generate soundtracks to pre-rendered videos using iMovie and GarageBand. Students will walk away with a firm grasp of how to use GarageBand to achieve good sound. Instructor Gordon Cobb is a professional Sound Designer in the film industry, theatre and dance. Students are encouraged to bring a laptop (with GarageBand) and/or ear phones.
