The Art-Process

INTRODUCTION

This training program was created for two reasons. First after looking for resources to learn to make films I realized that resources were scattered and did not necessarily apply to in classroom needs. The second reason had to do with recent breakthroughs in video and computer technology. Now, because of those breakthroughs, any student can make a movie that tells a story, complete with dialogue, sound effects, music and titles for, literally, the cost of the videotape. To me, that's a miracle!

The promise of this resource site, video and training program is to teach you and your students how to make a movie that tells a story, using a home camcorder and other equipment you already own, or can borrow. This program is meant to be democratic, available to all kids, regardless of their financial situation. If you don't have money, you're lucky. Having no money forces you to solve the problem creatively, and that always gives you a better result than money would have in the first place, plus you learned something.

One of the finest sites I found in my search was a free site built to promote Learning Filmmaking at http://admitone.org They offer an online manual about film production.  The pdf files are as follows;  Adobe® Acrobat® Reader®
