= = = = = Welcome to Enrichment Week: Film Production Class 2012 = The Film Production Program offers Innovation students interested in film production a practical introduction to the field. Through theory and practice, which features the opportunity to develop hands-on production skills, students learn the foundation work necessary for film production. Students engage in the digital media creative process through the use of the IPHONE app "Videolicious" [] and acquire the basics of non-synchronous filmmaking.

We will investigate structure, character development, conflict-cycle, monologues, dialogues and scenes, taking students from ideation through to the development of a detailed outline and ultimate final production.
