The objectives of the workshop are to allow particpants to:
- Learn the process of making movies

We will help you learn about:
- How to compose shots

You will learn from professionals working in the field of filmmaking who can provide real-life examples of how the craft works as well as why some things do not work.
The workshop sessions will be held at the Aurora Public Library (Santori Library, 101 S River St, Aurora, IL 60506) from 2 to 4:30pm every Sunday between June 7 and August 2nd (except July 5th).
