The Medford Recreation Department introduces a new program, Cinema Kidz, and an eight-week YouTube Production course for kids in grades 5 to 8. This class focuses on video production elements to make polished short videos that kids are passionate about. Content may include creating how-to videos, product reviews, TV shows, gamer videos, blogging, skits, animations, and more. Participants learn the skills and techniques necessary to create professional and polished videos that engage and educate their audience and friends.  Skills covered include performance, lighting, camera shots, editing, marketing and promoting a brand, finding unique content, and other relevant skills. It’s a great class for beginners as well as the more advanced video makers. The class will also highlight privacy, and staying safe on the internet. The class will meet from 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays from December 5 through January 23. Cost is $288 for Medford residents, $320 for non-residents. Register through the Medford Recreation website.
