Welcome to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Denver

Let's Make a Movie

In this course we prepare to make a movie (pre-production) including developing a script, casting actors (among ourselves), finding locations, designing sets and their contents, storyboarding scenes, anticipating camera and actor moves, setting shooting sequences, and rehearsing all of it. A series of YouTube videos will be used in the first hour to train in the skills involved. In the second hour we will try our hand at developing our own movie. In later semesters we will shoot the movie (production) and then edit the footage, add sound, titles (post production). The products will include a ”making of” video as well as the movie itself so we leave with a lasting memory of what we achieved, whether on crew or cast. Expect to participate in several skills as we have limited people to cover the range of needed tasks.
