Valuable both for classroom instruction & at a campus library so students can review the material on their own. This program focuses on cameras and lenses, aimed toward the beginning film and videomaker. Featuring a "film crew" shooting at a miniature golf course and a go cart track, this program teaches students each step & concept of the filmmaking process in a visual manner. Samples such as how the dolly shot and zoom shot were executed and how they look on camera are valuable materials for student learning.
