PROCESS OF THE CAMP
The camp follows a structured process to ensure a meaningful and enriching experience for all participants. Throughout the camp, students will engage in various activities and stages, including:
- Orientation: The camp begins with an orientation session where students will be introduced to the camp’s objectives, rules, and guidelines. This helps set the stage for a productive and enjoyable experience.
- Daily Schedule: The daily schedule for the camp may vary depending on the tasks, but typically, students will spend their time at a local forest school or park in Langley during the mornings, followed by activities at the Exia classroom in the afternoon. To ensure a timely start, parents are kindly requested to drop off their children at Exia Academy by 8:50 am. Transportation to offsite locations will be arranged using a chartered bus, and students will return to Exia Academy around noon.
- Workshops and Instruction: Students will participate in workshops and receive instruction on different aspects of scriptwriting, video production, and creative writing. These sessions will be led by experienced instructors who will guide students through the learning process.
- Team Collaboration: Emphasizing the value of teamwork, students will work collaboratively in groups to brainstorm ideas, develop scripts, and plan their video productions. This collaborative approach fosters communication skills, creative thinking, and the ability to work effectively as a team.
- Scriptwriting and Pre-production: Students will learn the art of scriptwriting, exploring different genres and writing styles. They will develop their ideas into well-structured scripts, considering elements such as dialogue, character development, and storytelling techniques. Pre-production activities such as casting, location scouting, and planning will also be undertaken during this phase.
- Production: This phase focuses on the actual filming of the videos. Students will gain hands-on experience in using cameras, lighting equipment, and sound recording devices. They will work together as a team, assuming different roles such as actors, directors, and camera operators to bring their scripts to life.
- Post-production: After the filming is complete, students will delve into the post-production process. They will learn how to edit their videos, add special effects, and enhance the overall quality of their productions. This stage allows students to refine their storytelling skills and create compelling final products.
- Showcasing and Reflection: Last day of the 2nd week, the camp concludes with a showcase event where students’ videos will be presented to an audience of family members. This provides an opportunity for students to share their creative work and receive feedback. Additionally, students will have the chance to reflect on their experiences, sharing their learnings, challenges, and accomplishments.
