AN OVERVIEW:
The Summer Program will consist of three sections.
1) *training & pre-production
2) principle photography of short-films on location
3) post-production editing.
*Two weeks of pre-production is required of all students collaborating on the films for the summer. These two weeks are the only times that little or no conflicts will be accommodated.
The three weeks of principal photography (the shooting of the films) will take all student conflicts into account when casting and scheduling each film shoot.
The summer company membership is open to 22 students. 6 pre-selected student directed films will be produced.
Each student will gain hands-on experience in the film making process from pre-production to post-production, as producers, actors and crew. Post-production editing classes are optional for students who are eager to learn editing on Final Cut Pro X and assist the directors on the Apple computers provided by HARA.
The unique experience provides students the opportunity to collaborate together and complete polished films for their portfolio for college and beyond.
