## Old List of Lesson in WikiU Film School Course #01 - Basic filmmaking at Wikiversity
### Lesson 1. Formatting the Script

WikiU Film School → Lesson #001 - Formatting the Script
    This is the first lesson of the Course #01 - Learning the Basics of Filmmaking. You are given a very simple story for a short movie (60 seconds) called Seduced by the Dark Side!. Your first step is to format this script. People in Hollywood expect a movie script in a specific format. If you cannot format your script properly, you will be ignored. Being ignored in Hollywood is not good!
* Also, this lesson is an introduction to the script typing and formatting program called Final Draft. This program is available in a FREE demo version which is fully working for short scripts... including saving and printing (with watermarks) short scripts. This program comes with a tutorial to show you all the features of Final Draft. Download the free demo version and take a look.

### Lesson 2. Study the Way Movies are Filmed in Hollywood

WikiU Film School → Lesson #002- Understanding how movies are made → Under Construction
    This Lesson can be described as "Watching Movies" and Lesson #3 can be described as "Making Decisions".
    In this lesson, we watch movies (edited and unedited) to study the filmmaking process and to get ideas.
Watching movies is a tough job... but someone has to do it. It might as well be you!!!!

#### The pages of this lesson…

    Title Page - Very short introduction
    Page 1 - The Basic Filmmaking Process
    Page 2 - Analyzing the movie George Lucas in Love
    Page 3 - Watching how real scenes are broken down and filmed in Hollywood.

### Lesson 3. Decide How the Movie will be Made ↔ Script Breakdown

WikiU Film School → Lesson #003: Planning the Movie → Under Construction
    To plan a movie, you need to decide how the movie will be filmed and such mundane tasks as the aspect ratio, the frame size and the lenses.

#### The pages of this lesson…

* Title Page - About this lesson
* Page 1 - Overall → Start here!
* Page 2 - Filming
* Page 3 - Animation
* Page 4 - Aspect Ratio & Frame Size

### Lesson 4. The Most Important Step - Drawing the thumbnail storyboards

WikiU Film School → Lesson #004: Creating the Thumbnail Storyboards
    The most important steps is storyboarding. And the simplest storyboards of all is thumbnail storyboards. You make all the important decisions for the movie when you create the thumbnail storyboards so this is the most challenging lesson of our course.

#### Lesson #004 - The Thumbnail Storyboards

* Page 1. Lesson summary with links to require reading.
* Page 2. What are thumbnail storyboards?
* Page 3. Example storyboards for our movie.
* Page 4. What software do I need for thumbnail storyboards?.
* Page 5. Pre-Visualization for thumbnail storyboards.
* Page 6. How to draw thumbnail storyboards with ArtRage 2.
* Page 7. How to draw thumbnail storyboards with Photoshop.
* Page 8. Using the library of storyboard frames.
   * Reference materials: the Storyboard Outline • the Original Story · all the Storyboard Frames · the Formatted Script · a Floor Plan.
This lesson should take only 15 minutes to draw the thumbnail storyboards with pencil and paper. :
| Problem | It takes too long to get the thumbnail drawings into the computer. |
| Solution #1 | Mail me your pencil and paper storyboard sketches. |
| Solution #2 | Tell me the numbers of the Thumbnail Examples which match your storyboards. |
Special Note: The first ten students who complete a good set of totally original thumbnail storyboards will received a free copy of the "Follow Dave?" Editing Workshop CD from the Star Movie Shop which hopefully works on both the Macintosh and Windows. The "Follow Dave?" Editing Workshop CD is a good introduction to film editing for narrative motion pictures with scripted dialog.

### Lesson 5. Creating the Temp Score

WikiU Film School →Creating the music (rough) → Under Construction
    To calculate the timing for this movie, you must first create the narrative music for this motion picture.

### Lesson 6. Recording the Dialog

WikiU Film School → Recording the dialog for the animatic → Under Construction
    We are going to create an animatic from the 3D storyboards. This is a movie created from the still artwork. To do this, we need voices of the characters in the animatic. This is only very rough, not necessarily the voices needed for production.

#### The pages of this lesson…

* The Title Page
* Page 1 - The Software
* Page 2 - The Hardware
* Page 3 - The Room
* Page 4 - Self Recording

### Lesson 7. Editing the Animatic

WikiU Film School → Editing the animatic → Under Construction
    To create an animatic from the 3D storyboards, we need to edit it like a slide show.

### Lesson 8. The Camera Lens creates the Mood - All about Camera Lenses

The computer model Victoria photographed with three different lenses using the amazing DAZ Studio full version which you can download absolutely free (Warning to parents: the optional FREE Victoria model comes without clothing and a very well-defined female body.) :
| 24 mm Mood is cold and distant | 50 mm No distortion is boring | 200 mm Mood is warm and close |
| | Can you see the difference? | |
WikiU Film School → All about Lenses → Under Construction
    Using a program like DAZ Studio which is free, you can learn how the selection of the lens for a shot will effect the mood of the shot.

#### The pages of this lesson…

* Lenses •Introduction to All about lenses.
* Lenses •Learning how focal length creates mood.
* Lenses • Learning how depth of field focuses attention.
* Lenses •Learning about lenses using FrameForge 3D Studio 2
* Lenses •Learning about lenses using DAZ Studio
Look at the three pictures to the right above. Can you see the difference? More importantly, can you feel the difference between the two outer images? The first image is filmed with a 24 mm lens (a very wide angle lens which makes things look cold but bold), the second is filmed with a 50 mm lens which has no distortion, and the third was filmed with a 200 mm lens (a strong telephoto lens used for dramatic portraits which makes things seem warm and close.) Note: The focal lengths of the lenses are based on 35 mm still camera lenses.

### Lesson 9. 3D Human Models, 3D Costumes, and Movie Set for the Animated Version of Our Movie

WikiU Film School → Selecting the models for the animated version → Under Construction
    We have to select the models for the animated version of this movie.

* Sample 3D Storyboard Created with FrameForge

### Lesson 11. Movie Props - The Star Wars Poster

* Making the props - The Star Wars poster - The movie set has a poster from Star Wars. We will not use a real Star Wars poster for two reasons. One is the problem with rights. The other problem is a detailed posters will be too hard to view. We need a very simple poster that looks like a Star Wars poster but is not.
