Learn How to Make a Movie as a Kid
During NYFA’s level two kids film camp, students who have completed a prerequisite program may return to advance their filmmaking skills. This hands-on, one-week camp gives students aged 10-13 the opportunity to complete their own film project and study additional filmmaking disciplines, including cinematography, screenwriting, and directing.
Program Description
1-Week Filmmaking Camp for Kids II
Prerequisite: 1 or 2-Week Filmmaking Camp I for Kids
In this exciting and fun film program, students develop, pre-produce, and create their own original short films using state-of-the-art cameras and equipment. Classes focus on genre and style in digital cinematography, screenwriting, editing practice and aesthetics, and directing for cinema. Students also learn crucial crew roles and study set and costume design, locations, shot choices, and coverage. The finished product is a short film of up to five minutes.
At the end of the camp, a special presentation features content created during the program, and family and friends are welcome to attend. Students also receive a USB drive from NYFA with a digital copy of their work. During the program, students need to provide their own lunch.

This one-week film camp is available in New York and Los Angeles. During their time in Los Angeles, students work in the same neighborhood as legendary film production companies such as Nickelodeon Studios and Walt Disney Studios. In New York, students are based in Manhattan, and can draw their inspiration from the energy and diversity of NYC.
