Day 1

The Story Starts Here
You’ll meet your team, learn how the week will run, and dive into creative brainstorming. Through fun games and group exercises, we’ll explore how stories are built — from plot and character to mood and genre. By the end of the day, each group will have a film idea, a rough script, and a plan for filming.

Day 2

Shoot Like a Pro
We’ll show you how to use smartphones and cameras to film like a professional. You’ll learn how to set up shots, use lighting and sound equipment, and practice basic camera moves. Then, you’ll start filming your scenes — indoors at the studio and possibly outside on location.

Day 3

Lights, Camera, Action!
This is a full filming day. You’ll direct, perform, and shoot your scenes, with help from the facilitators. You’ll also gather extra footage like interviews, voiceovers, or B-roll to use in your final edit. By the end of the day, most groups will have all their footage ready to go.

Day 4

Cut It Together
Now it’s time to learn editing. You’ll be introduced to editing software like Premiere Pro or iMovie and shown how to arrange clips, add music, clean up sound, and build a smooth, engaging story. Your team will work together to build your first full cut and get feedback to improve it.

Day 5

Premiere Day
On the final day, you’ll polish your edit, add titles and effects and make your project ready to share. We’ll help with final tweaks, colour grading and exporting your film. The week finishes with a group screening — friends and family are invited to celebrate what you’ve made.
