Summer Video Institute
A total virtual online learning experience.
June 21-25, 2021
During this difficult time, DeSales University is reaching out to educate tomorrow’s filmmakers in the craft of filmmaking using familiar tools, Virtual Technology, and the latest software to strengthen your technical ability to create a marketable product.
The Virtual Summer Video Institute (VSVI) at DeSales offers students an introduction to the theories of techniques of digital movie making using cellular phones. Each student will create a minimum of two short films and potentially collaborate on a larger scale production.
Each morning will begin with lectures delivered via Zoom on how to design, shoot, stabilize, and edit films of your own creation using your personal Android or iPhone. The mornings will include topics such as scriptwriting; Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, and Premiere Rush (editing software for phones); and sound and stabilization techniques.
The remainder of the morning will be spent on collaborating virtually with other students on your script or project footage. In the afternoons, you’ll be going out shooting and editing your film in your home environment. At the end of the program, the final films will be celebrated with an online screening.
Cost: $355 No application fee or deposit required.
Application Deadline is June 18, 2021
College Credit
At the end of program, each student with a high school graduation date of 2023 or prior will be eligible to receive three college-level credits.
