Award-winning British director and producer Craig Lines (photo) will inform participants on terms, techniques and methods and demonstrate a basic understanding of audio-visual equipment and postproduction software in Understanding Filmmaking. It is a certificate program in audio-visual production.

The four-session course is offered through The School of Professional and Continuing Education (SPaCE) at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB).

Lines has been a filmmaker for over 30 years, specializing in drama and writing, producing and directing documentaries, entertainment and short films. He has worked as producer and director for BBC, collecting British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards, the UK’s version of the Oscars, among several other film and television accolades.

Students can expect to learn how to write and design a script, prepare for a shoot and direct their films, and manage post-production and dubbing requirements. They will produce a project to show their mastery of skills.

Undestanding Filmmaking will run for four Saturdays beginning Feb. 24, with each meeting running from 12 noon to 6:30 p.m.
