    Theme

    The theme of the workshop will be the exploration of local Brooklyn neighborhoods (namely, Park/South Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Gowanus, and Red Hook). The DecadesOut Studio will serve as our HQ, but there will be brief periods where we venture out with the kids. These times and locales will be outlined at the beginning at the workshop period, with approval from parents/guardians.

    Participants will be encouraged to explore their local neighborhoods visually — with an eye toward becoming aware of the beauty and challenges facing our urban landscape.

    Workshop Structure
    The objectives of the workshop include: empowering youth to master unique visual tools and creatively represent their surroundings, personal stories, and observations; encouraging youth to become informed about the issues affecting their local environment and to engage those issues in an active and positive way; teaching participants the properties of optics and the functioning of lenses; instructing each particpant on how to use HD digital film cameras with guidance from the instructor and a staff member; allowing particpants to see their completed work; and allowing participants to share their work through an entertaining and informative portal. Workshop activities include: hands-on studio lessons in camera theory and techniques; in-the-field photography around select neighborhood areas with full supervision and instruction; studio viewing of filmed materials, hand-drawn animation experiments, and interactive collaboration; and introduction to next steps of filmmaking, including editing, sound design, and special effects. Students will also learn about the history of film, make handmade films, learn how to apply their new knowledge to making their own movies. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have a public presentation of their work for family and friends, and receive a DVD or flash drive with the classes work.

    Conclusion
    The Metropolis Filmmakers program is expected to cause a spark in our communities’ families and open doors to creative pursuits for children entering high school in the near future. This is just the kind of program that can help create and foster a hobby, a career choice, and above all, a form of expression for an age group that is finding its own voice. Children in this age-range will benefit greatly from an opportunity to develop a mode of creative expression, work with their peers, get invaluable attention from a professional instructor, and develop a constructive way to engage and become responsible for their environment.
