Whether you are a movie buff, a keen editor, or you just enjoy watching movies, come to the first Film Club meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 22 in pod E from 2:30 p.m. until 3:15 p.m.

Senior Taylor Tyson has been interested in film for several years and wanted to form a club that focuses on movie discussions. During the summer, Tyson contacted fellow senior Yasmine Campbell, who broadened Tyson’s original vision for the club. Campbell suggested the club create movies and videos for various clubs and athletic teams of Apex High. Tyson explained the goals of Film Club are “to expand students’ knowledge of cinematography by exploring different aspects of film” and “to relate social issues or fix a visual need through film and the creation of films.”

The Film Club will hold multiple types of meetings. The first meeting of each month will consist of watching clips from films and discussing the cinematography. The following meetings will alternate each week and will include brainstorming and creating films for clubs and athletic teams of Apex High.

Media and film are expanding vastly, and through the years, film is transferring to new mediums. How many YouTube videos are watched every day? Whether you simply like watching movies or are interested in learning more about making and editing films, be sure to check out the new Film Club.
