Movie-Making Magic
Lights, Camera, Action!
Just as live-action movies are made using cameras, filmmakers sometimes use virtual cameras to “film” their movies, with lenses that act like the real thing. Today, we're experimenting with different camera settings, shot selections, movements, and angles...all to make our own movies.
what you’ll need
- Your Camp Kinda toolkit
- A sketchbook or a journal with blank paper
- A mobile phone or tablet with a camera
FOR PARENTS
Ask About Today
Can you tell me about camera angles and movements? How do different angles and shots help tell a story on film?
Dinner Discussion
Have your child share the storyboard or the short film they've created. Ask them to talk about their inspiration and about the challenges they faced while making it.
Skip the Ads
