SIFF Filmmaking Camp: Horror

SIFF Filmmaking Camps

Explore the darkest bounds of your imagination as you learn how to incorporate editing, green screen, and in-camera tricks into your next scary movie. Using new special effects skills in their arsenal, campers will explore the genre of horror* and bring their wildest screams to the big screen. Campers learn how to script, storyboard, shoot, and edit films in this week-long immersive filmmaking experience. The week will culminate in a film festival at the SIFF Film Center on Friday afternoon at 3pm to invite friends and family to enjoy their camper’s work.

*Our exploration of the horror genre will focus on early silent horror films, Alfred Hitchcock, and Edgar Allen Poe. SIFF Education has a policy of nonviolence in our films so we will work on building suspense and creative ways to terrify and delight our audiences.
