There are three phases of creating a film: Pre-production, Production, and Post-production. Each of these phases is necessary to create a complete and high quality movie. Digistars programs provide step by step guides through the production phases that culminate in students having finished their movies.
Pre-production
The pre-production phase contains all the steps of making a movie before filming. This is the most time consuming phase, as stories need to be carefully planned out and written in order to create a film with a beginning, middle and end. The main steps in the pre-production phase include research, script writing, and storyboard creating.
Production
Once a story is created, students begin the production process.This phase involves the actual filming of the movie. Students can incorporate video, still images, and interviews into their films. This is where acting, recording, text, and sounds are all applied to tell their story.
Post Production
In the post production phase of creating a movie, students edit and wrap up their films. Students flow through the editing process and incorporate all of their footage into a finished movie.
Digistars courses help your student walk through the production process of creating a film. Digistars offers three movie making programs: Documentary Filmmaking, Stop Motion Animation, and Live Action Filmmaking. Teachers can use our curriculum packages to teach digital storytelling either in the classroom or through remote teaching. Students and parents appreciate our camp-like experiences that they can do at home.
