MEDFIELD TV'S T.E.A.M. FILMMAKING
Welcome to our T.E.A.M.! Teen Entertainment Arts & Media programs are for rising high school sophomores through seniors who want to build their digital media skills and add to their professional portfolios.
Over the course of eight 5-hour days, students will work in groups to conceptualize, write, shoot, and edit a short film. They will be challenged to convey emotion and story through actions and sounds instead of through dialogue.
Students will be given a simulated budget to spend on “renting” any of our filmmaking equipment such as DSLRs, dollies, cranes, gimbals, sliders, lighting, and more. Medfield TV’s staff of professionally trained media experts will train students on the fundamentals of filmmaking and video editing, and will mentor students throughout every step of the production process.
Students may add their final projects to their demo reels or portfolios, and projects will air on Medfield TV’s cable channels and YouTube channel.
Visit medfield.tv/team for more information and to apply!
