Digital Cinema and Television Camps

The Michigan State University Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies and Media has a long and distinguished history of creating video and film artists; offering both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in a variety of digital media arts.

The Digital Cinema Camp will be offered for the third summer this year. The Television Camp is being offered for the first time this summer. All camps have a limited enrollment of 18 students and these fun-filled camps tend to fill up fast. There is one camp for high school students (ages 14 to 18) and one for middle schoolers (students entering 7th or 8th grade).

Digital Cinema Camp Description:

Campers create a short digital movie from start to finish using professional techniques. Topics include Short Film Storyline and Structure, Shooting the Digital Film, Editing the Digital Film and Movie Analysis and Critique. At the close of this fun, hands-on workshop, campers will write, shoot, edit, and burn a DVD with their very own short film.
