FILMMAKING 101: AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKING MOVIES
Savannah College of Art and Design

Michael Chaney’s series of workshops introduces the basics of the filmmaking process. As filmmaking tools and methods of distribution become more accessible, film is finally becoming a democratic art form. If you ever wanted to make a film but didn’t know where to begin, this is the workshop for you.
The three sessions will cover:
1) Development and Pre-Visualization
What makes a good film?
What steps are necessary to accomplish before using a camera
2) Production
Once you have a plan - how do you put it into action?
What methods to use to get your film “in the can” on a shoestring budget
3) Post Production and Distribution
After your project is filmed – how do you organize your footage to tell the best story? How to address the editing process and get your film “out there” once it is complete.
