The basics of film production are covered in the first day and shooting commences on Day Two. Times and locations for days Two Three and Four are flexible as this is an on-location film shoot.

The final section of the camp is spent in Post Production and there is a Screening of the works on the final day. The screenings are open to friends and family of the participants.

假日電影製作營

Focus on Film舉辦的假日營會於暑假、農曆新年、聖誕節及復活節期間舉行。假日營的活動緊湊，參加者會於課程的第二天便開始拍攝活動，以爭取更多使用器材實習的機會。我們相信實際動手參與製作，是讓參加者吸取知識及激發創意的最佳方法。

假日營活動通常於星期一至星期五進行，上課時間為早上九時至六時（特別註明除外）。課程首日會教授電影製作之基本，次日下午開始進行為期三天的拍攝活動。參加者作品的剪接工作，會於課程最後兩天進行。由於參加者將被設置於一個真正的製作環境中，各團隊的活動時間將因應其所選取的拍攝場景、天氣及環境等各項因素而有所調整。課程每天均設有午饍時間。課程的最後一天為作品放映會，歡迎參加者的家人及朋友出席以示支持。

所有課程的導師，均為電影及錄像研究的專業人仕，部份更持有國外認可的專業資格。課程師生比例為1:7。FOF課程所收取的費用包括拍攝及製作過程中的器材、交通及保險的支出。
