Youth Winter Break – Green Screen Fun(damentals) (13-19yrs)

Asheville School of Film will host Youth Filmmaking- Green Screen Fun(damentals), a 2-day short course specifically for teenagers 13-18 years of age on green screen special effects during the winter school break, Thursday and Friday, January 2nd and 3rd, 2020, from 1 pm to 5 pm.

During the course, students will learn the Basics of Filmmaking and practice in-class exercises using digital cameras and green screen techniques. Develop skills in film production and determine interest for future related careers!

Green Screen image compositing, once the realm of high-end Hollywood productions, is now accessible to virtually anyone with a modern digital camera and editing program. Even so, creating a convincing composited image requires some basic skills and a clear understanding of the process. This workshop will cover everything necessary for achieving believable Green Screen effects on a budget. Among other topics, participants will discover techniques for lighting both the green screen and actors to insure visual continuity between the foreground and background images while dealing with troublesome shadows.

Asheville School of Film provides all equipment and supplies necessary for the in-class training. Cost for the course is $150, and a $50 non-refundable deposit will be needed to secure the registration.

Students that also sign up for the morning Youth class (Crew Positions and Careers) will receive a bundle price of $250 for the 2 classes. Deposit for the 2 classes combined will be $50. This course is a Day Camp, and does not include housing. We’d be happy to provide a list of local hotels and hostels.
