LOOK Course Details

LET’S MAKE YOUR FILM

The LOOK program begins with developing your story idea then filming, editing and showcasing your finished doc or short film.

THE IDEA – IMAGINE

It all starts here. Lectures are designed to be creative collaborations. Everyone will help everyone else take their idea from an idea to a camera ready film project. Along the way we’ll have some fun by tackling creative projects to limber up the imagination and reveal what is possible.

IMAGINATION TO REALIZATION

As your story ideas develop you’ll also experience hands on camera, lighting, sound and editing basics that will help you get that idea on film.

Learning Environment

Look Environment

The environment is designed to be inclusive, collaborative, supportive and sensitive to the special and individual needs of the students. Students will be encouraged to collaborate with each other and with instructors, providing support and feedback to help shape each project.

Lecture Environment

Don't let the world "lecture" scare you. It's actually a creative cocoon. We talk about story ideas and together develop them so they are ready to go to camera. We'll also watch great docs and short films. This is the imagining class and you'll also learn the basics in constructing long form and cinematic narratives.

Lab Environment

These are hands on camera, lighting, sound and editing workshops. By the time you have developed your story in the lectures you'll be ready to start shooting, writing and editing.

How You Can Help

Be respectful of everyone. Stay in touch between classes. Work together. Be responsible. Don't wreck the equipment. Be on time for classes and shoots. if you're feeling a bit "off" let someone know. Commit to many hours a week outside of class.

Bring your “A” game and we will too.
