Peek behind the curtain of movie magic. Campers will work with DSLR cameras and explore basic camera functions: shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and frame rates. Utilizing these functions, they will learn to script, light, frame, shoot, and capture audio for use with a green screen. Finally, with Adobe editing/production software, campers will bring their creative visions to life by producing a short scene.
