The Film Department at Frank Sinatra School of the Arts is a comprehensive pre-conservatory public school program. Students attend a 2-period production class every day of their 4-year high school career. Every other day, students take additional classes in editing, film history, screenwriting, film analysis, or auteur theory. During Freshman year, students explore visual storytelling by focusing on camerawork and non-dialogue stories. Sophomores learn to record sound and write and produce several short films and PSAs. During Junior year students explore various filmmaking styles and begin to develop their own. They write and produce a film noir short and a commercial for a local business. Senior students write and produce a short horro film and a senior thesis short. The best films are selected for the annual film festival that is open to the public.
