The Fundamentals of Filmmaking is the gateway for all production classes at the Seattle Film Institute.

This class provides students with a practical and comprehensive grounding in film and HD production including lighting, camera, composition and editing. Students have the remarkable opportunity to work in both film and digital video, which provides the crucial foundation for an understanding of the entire production process. Students also receive a hands-on overview of editing with Final Cut Pro. Students complete projects in both digital video and Super-8 Film.

These projects give students experience in the complete production process including scripts and storyboards, shooting, and editing. Class time is devoted to technical knowledge, film analysis, and screening and critiques of student work. This class provides the foundation for the entire spectrum of filmmaking including narrative, documentaries, music videos, business videos, personal and experimental work, and projects for the web. Thus, Fundamentals of Filmmaking can serve as a stand-alone introduction to the basics of film production, or as a required prerequisite for all other production classes at the Seattle Film Institute. Tuition includes the text and use of cameras and editing equipment. Additional film costs and refundable equipment deposit are the responsibility of the student.
