Lotte Culture Works Happy Anding Film Production Class is a social contribution program that utilizes Lotte Cinema's national theater platform and various contents. 

It is designed to offer professional training courses. 

The Film Production Class Free Semester Program, which was launched in 2017 after being piloted in 2017, selects two middle schools per semester and teaches the film for 17 weeks.

In the second semester of 2019, the program was held at Dongdae Girls' Middle School and Youngwon Middle School. 

After the semester, the participating students held a screening meeting at the Lotte Cinema Konkuk University entrance, Yeongdeungpo, located in the vicinity of each school, and showed their friends the story and the result of the semester.

◇ 'Happy Ending' movie production class in eternity, 'Happy Ending' screening! 

As early as December 27, last year, a theater of Lotte Cinema Yeongdeungpo was filled with teenagers. 

In the Happy Ending Film Production Class, middle school students who came to see the work of their students and friends who made their own movies filled their hearts with excitement.

 Posters of each piece were hanging at the entrance of the theater, and the students who visited selected the 'Best Poster Award' with a sticker. Each one was visual enough to induce curiosity about the content.

Before meeting the full-fledged works, a making film was recorded, recording the 17-week process. 

The curiosity of the film attracted students from the film industry and the mentoring of the film and video college students.

They created head-to-head scenarios, acting, shooting and editing. The making film contained their passion, their worries, and their joy. 

The making film itself was a growing film.

Subsequent screenings of each finished work followed. His works were full of personalities, such as 'Tachan', 'School of Zombie', 'Fake Documentary-A Day of Integer', 'Multiple Plays', and 'Love and Friendship'. The students watched the images of themselves and their friends full of big screens seriously and made an unforgettable experience.

After the show, the students who participated in the production came to the stage and talked about their films through a dialogue with the audience (GV). 

He shared the contents and meaning of the film, his impression of directing and acting, and the behind-the-scenes story in the production process.

Most students said, "It was more fun than hard." It is to share the story that we are worried about in the video. 

The screening party was a meaningful place to realize the essence of this film and to feel the sense of accomplishment and pleasure again.

◇ Film semester's free semester to foster dream trees

Film Production Class The free semester program was conceived from the limits that the film and theater industries have been making social contribution activities such as donations to low-income groups and supporting movie viewing, 

while the cultural and art career education was rarely achieved. I am satisfied with the fact that I can participate long-term through an ongoing and interesting curriculum in film education that was difficult to access. 

It also provides ample opportunity and time for students to participate in all aspects of directing, filming, scenarios, acting, and editing. 

Emphasizing that a good film is completed when one team plays its part faithfully, it also helps communication skills and social skills.

An official of Lotte Culture Works said, "We are nurturing the future film dream tree based on the company's know-how that provides various services related to cinema." 

"Adolescents who are interested in cinema are choosing their career through systematic education. I will do my best to help you. "

◇ Education opportunities for more students!

Lotte Culture Works, Children, and the Future Foundation are diversifying forms and targets such as one-day open courses and

two-day and three-day camps in addition to the free school year to provide more students with educational opportunities.

Open courses, packed into a one-day course, offer career exploration without the limitations of local and schools. Lotte Culture Works, 

which confirmed youth's enthusiasm in the film production class in Seoul in 2017, turned to local students with relatively few opportunities. 

Future filmmakers have tasted film production classes in Busan, Jeju, Jeonju, Daejeon, Cheonan and Chuncheon.

In addition, the film production experience camp using vacation provides a new experience for high school students who dream of being a filmmaker. 

The course was held for three days and two nights for high school students, adding depth and expertise in high-level shooting and editing skills such as CG, night photography, and VR video content and equipment experience.
