Fundamentals of Filmmaking provides a practical and comprehensive grounding in film 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 film their projects with Super-8 Film and complete them in digital video.

The projects give students experience in the whole 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. Fundamentals of Filmmaking is a prerequisite for all other production classes at the Seattle Film Institute. Tuition includes the text, use of Super8 cameras, Final Cut editing on Apple iMacs in our editing lab and the Super8 film and processing for the first project in class. Additional film costs and a refundable equipment deposit are the responsibility of the student.
