Service Description

Assuming the roles of Writer / Director, Trayce develops a new script based on a student story idea from the Beginning Scriptwriting Class. This process demonstrates how to create multi-dimensional characters, complex relationships; a dynamic storyline with surprises and themes; and vivid visuals using available resources. Actors are recruited and rehearse, while students step into crew roles. In the fourth Class session A1 Day1 Productions (https://a1day1productions.com/) leads an introduction to camera, lighting, and sound, followed by a camera rehearsal with actors -- then the Practice Film Shoot. This Class takes place in the actual shooting location ! On typical low/no-budget shoots there is a rush in and out of the location, with only a few key players having actually spent any time in the location prior to the shoot. Instead our crew and cast will be able to fully explore and utilize the space, building familiarity and muscle memory that will ensure a smoother, more creative filming experience. CASE STUDY: To vividly illustrate the process of from Script to Screen, we’ll analyze the film history of ‘FOR LIFE’, a past ‘Make A Film’ Class project, reviewing both the shooting script, stories from the set, samples of raw footage, and the completed film. . CLASS TOPICS INCLUDE: • How To Be Creative With No Budget And The Resources Available To You • Auditions, Casting, & Directing • How To Oversee Set, Props, Wardrobe, Make-Up • Developing A Shot List • Script Supervising & Time Management On Set • Problem-Solving On The Fly • Leadership On Set EDITING OF FILM: This happens after the Class is over and is done by Trayce and interns. Students will get an opportunity to view raw footage and will receive Editing Notes on the challenges involved with shaping the raw footage into a finished film. .
