After lunch, our professional will Skype with us to give feedback on your tapes. The rest of the day will be spent identifying the elements of a story, “breaking the story” of existing shows, and generating ideas for our camp movie. Your homework for the night will be prepping your pitch for the Tower Talent Writer’s Room.

WRITER’S ROOM AND PRODUCTION PLANNING

Campers will begin by pitching their ideas to the instructors. As a group we will identify strengths in each pitch and combine them to write a rough outline of our script. Then campers will break into groups to “beat out” the story. In the afternoon, students will learn about the various roles of a production team and begin to explore camera angles and sound capture using industry standard equipment.

Thursday, July 12th

SHOWRUNNING, REHEARSAL, AND EQUIPMENT PRACTICE

Instructors will present campers with a script ready for punch-ups. Together, the group will finalize roles, lines, and beats. Next, the campers will prep the necessary elements of production: making a call sheet, location scouting, planning a budget, organizing props, and so on. After lunch, campers will rehearse the movie.

Friday, July 13th

SHOOTING DAY

Campers will shoot the final script they’ve been working towards all week. All campers will act in the movie and share production duties. Campers will experience what it is like to work on a movie set as an actor, director, writer, cinematographer, sound mixer, and producer. After the instructors have collected all of the footage, the campers will anxiously await the finished product that will be loaded to Vimeo and YouTube the following week!
