Story Masters Film Academy for High School Students

Do you have a high school student interested in learning about film writing or directing? Through Story Masters Film Academy, they can have the opportunity to work with industry professionals who also teach classes at John Paul the Great Catholic University. There is also the opportunity to earn college credit.

Some of the topics covered include:

Film Writing

What is a story?

Character

Structure and conflict

Stakes, emotion, and meaning

Writing log lines and pitching ideas

Screenplay format and writing dialogue

Directing

What the story is about: theme vs. plot

Pre-production: script breakdown, director’s notebook, set design

Production: choosing cameras, working with actors, managing the set

Post production: editing, sound, music

Two free sample lessons are available for students to try out to see if this program would be a good fit.

In addition to semester-long courses, they have just begun planning a Story Masters Film Festival for the summer — an online intensive that ends with a showcase/competition of student films.
