JMC Academy Holiday Short Courses
JMC Academy will be holding their regular January Holiday Short Courses. If you are the type of person who thinks outside the box and wants to discover your creative side and unlock the possibilities of a career in one of the many growing areas in the Creative Industries, one of the short courses below could be for you. The topics are:
Script to Screen
In this course you have an opportunity to make your own film!
Experienced industry filmmakers and technicians will guide students through a series of practical exercises to conquer the major areas of writing, directing, cinematography, and post production - using JMC’s state-of-the-art post-production labs. Learn how to structure, write, break down, and rehearse a short script and to plan a shoot from beginning to end, all the while working with a collective group of like-minds and professional actors. With hands-on experience operating professional cameras and sound, by the end of the course students will not only understand the inside scoop on the inner workings of crew roles and the filmmaking process – but also get to finish a short film.
