Lights, Camera, Action
In a world dominated by apps like Instagram, Snapchat, and Youtube, most students are natural media producers, easily creating amazing videos, photos, and presentations with the click of a few buttons. But since we might also have the next Steven Spielberg or Christopher Nolan in our midst, we also offer high school students an opportunity to take their cinematic vision to the next level in our UC approved film courses, teaching them specialized production skills and letting them explore their creative talents. Linfield’s budding filmmakers have access to a variety of state of the art equipment (Blackmagic cameras, gimbals, a green screen room, a Mac lab with editing bays, etc.) as they work collaboratively with their peers to create, write, direct, produce, and edit their films. Not only do they submit their work to a variety of film festivals, students also develop episodes of Talking' Lions & The Den (weekly shows with news updates, athletic highlights, and comedic sketches) for their fellow students.
