What You’ll Learn

Step 1: Generating Ideas
Niles Jeran will guide you through creative exercises to generate fresh concepts, storyboards, and script your ideas. He will help you overcome writer’s block, create mood boards, structure your story outline, and revise drafts throughout the process.
Step 2: Setting Up & Lighting Your Scene
Once you finalize your story, it's crucial to communicate the desired emotions through effective lighting techniques. Mia Moran will provide hands-on demonstrations, showing you how to set your scene with studio gear and RGB lights, balance color temperatures, and use lighting ratios to create depth and dimension to your film.
Step 3: Shooting on your Phone
Now that your scene is all setup, Ryan Kao will take you to walk you through different camera movements, composition techniques, and the best mobile settings to shoot your film. Everything from blocking, working with talent, and creating the most unique frames possible for your movie.
Step 4: Editing Your Film
You’ve shot your footage, but your story really comes to life in the editing room. On day two, Elliott Walker will help you cut down and tell your story in the strongest way possible by combining shots, using jump cuts, and creating beats, transitions, and visual effects for your final video.
Step 5: Implementing Sound Design
Visual media is only half of your film’s story. Sam Newton will teach you how to choose the right song and use SFX to emphasize key moments. He’ll share his process for writing, recording, and editing seamless voiceovers, including tips and tricks he used throughout his professional career.
Step 6: Color Grading Your Footage
The final touch: color grading. Sergio Villasano, known as SERR, is a master of color theory and analog simulation. He’ll teach essential tips for enhancing color, contrast, and tone in mobile footage and share pro-level insights into his creative process, all while discovering your own unique style to perfect your film’s final look.
