The Door Movie: Using AFI curriculum, students created a short video about a door. They then added music and sound effects in Windows Movie Maker to complete the movie. The entire process included storyboards, multiple camera angles, shooting, editing and reshooting. Although students worked in small groups to film, they each edited their own version of the finished movies. See all posts tagged with Door Movie to see student work.
