East Bay Media Center (EBMC) intends to move forward with the 23rd Annual Summer Teen Media Camp 2020 youth media project, and to maintain the proposed timeline. Project activities will still take place during the 2020 summer time line of July 6 through July 24.
Given the current corona virus pandemic and its impacts on our region's public schools and community, EBMCs' ability to offer immersive and impactful youth media training -- provided both in-person and remotely -- will be more important than ever. In this time of crisis and isolation, we can give a powerful platform for youth voices and perspectives on the places they call home, and how those places may be changing in response to today's unprecedented challenges. We strongly believe that the original short student films generated during the Summer Teen Media Camp 2020 project will serve as a meaningful chronicle of youth lives today. We appreciate the communities understanding that the project activities will evolve as necessary to include the most impactful combination of in-person and remote/digital learning and media production.

Hello Fellow Parents,
My daughter Emma helped teach the video summer workshop for teens several years ago and then went on to study film production for her undergraduate degree. Paul, the camp director at East Bay Media Center, welcomed and encouraged Emma with mentorship that was a win-win because the students had a teacher’s assistant who was also a peer. The resulting films they produced in camp had a playful quality while also being inspiring for camp participants about the value of careful technical practice and self-expression through moving media. In addition, Emma was encouraged to explore her interest in pre and post production, titles and logos, which happened in the presence of the camp participants. That allowed them to learn by observing how she learned those processes. Overall I must say that East Bay Media Center is one of the true gems of Berkeley. I am proud to have had a child participate and honored that Paul’s mahalo generosity landed in our direction. I look forward to enrolling my younger kids in the summer camp in the future. Regardless of whether they take off with film the way Emma did, their participation will surely enlarge them within a context that is emotionally, psychologically and physically safe and nurturing. Best of luck to you with your childrearing. I have six and I’m here to say there is no right way. However, some places are right places, and East Bay Media is one of those.
Warmly,
Eleanor Freed

Teen Media Camp
2012
July
9-27, 2012 . Ages 13 - 17
The
East Bay Media Center
has conducted workshops and provided training in television production
for well over two decades. EBMC's pioneering Teen Media Camp established in 1987 is the countries first media training program for teens. This summer, the experienced staff is again offering
EBMC's exciting program for students ages 13 to 17. The program will be
held Monday through Friday from 10:15 A.M. to 2:15 P.M. at the East
Bay Media Center's new facilities in the Downtown Arts District
in Berkeley, CA.
Learn
scripting, production, editing & graphics
In
this program, students will be guided through the Digital creation of a collaborative
video project. They will move from scripting to production and finally
to editing in our studios.
Ideas
Week
One: creative thinking. Students will work cooperatively
in "brainstorming sessions" where script ideas will be discussed
and developed. After studying standard script formats and looking
at finished scripts, students will then begin the process of scripting
and creating storyboards for their selected project ideas.
Techniques
Week
Two: the production phase. Students will learn the
skills needed to use the professional digital video equipment provided. We
will carefully go over technical aspects of digital camcorders, microphones,
lighting, and production procedures. Students will work as a team,
and each member will have the opportunity to experience the different
roles that are needed to complete a video project. We will view and
discuss each day's work and examine the techniques and methods used
by successful filmmakers, both past and present, to further our understanding
of the medium.
Technology
Week
Three: post-production. Using the scripts and storyboards
as a guide, students will begin to learn the final process of bringing
their project to completion. Students will be taught the fundamentals
of digital video editing on Mac computers and will learn to integrate
computer graphics and digital effects. The process will include working
with digital editing systems, digital video cameras, and digital effects
creation on our digital editing systems. Using these tools, students
will have the opportunity to bring their unique vision to life.
