A Crash Course in Making Your First Film is for the beginner video connoisseur. In this panel, presenters will break down making a film in all its major steps. From writing to editing, the audience will learn all the basics of making their first film. Presenters will cover writing, casting, finding locations & crew members, basic shooting and lighting techniques, set design, how to edit, and what educational options are open to students in a Power Point Presentation. This panel will encourage audience members to just get started and create, rather than being held back from what they don’t know, by giving them a basic course in filmmaking.
