Are the FS4T courses worth a high school credit?
How do I log in or get back into my FS4T course?
When you are enrolled in a Film School 4 Teens course, we send your course login information by email to the email address provided to us by your parent, school, or scholarship program.
1. Check your email.
Look for an email from Film School 4 Teens with your course login information. The first time you log in, you’ll be asked to set a password. This will take you directly to your course dashboard.
2. Already set up your account?
Go to the Film School 4 Teens website and click “Resume Course” in the upper-right corner. Log in using your email address and password, and you’ll be taken right back to your courses.
3. Still can’t get in?
No problem! Send us an email (admin@fs4t.com) and we’ll be happy to help you get logged in right away.
​​​​​​​
Yes, they are! We have six semester-long courses and one year-long course. Our semester courses are equivalent to 60 hours of course work, and the year-long course is 120 hours. The credit you receive takes into account the course video content, instruction time, and the time the student spends completing assignments and final projects. According to the state you live in, you can determine what your credit value will be.
Does the course come with a workbook?
Yes, it does come with one free workbook per course ordered. If you would like to order an extra workbook for a sibling, you can find extra workbooks on our store page. https://www.fs4t.com/store
Can this course be done as a co-op?
Absolutely! Working with your friends can be the best way to do our courses. Co-ops and classrooms are having a blast doing these courses together. Split up what is done individually and what is done together to your liking. Each participating family must purchase their course and login. The course purchased will come with one workbook, and each family can order as many additional workbooks as needed.
Can multiple children use the same course?
Yes. Siblings living in the same household may use the same course purchase.
However, course access may not be shared with other families, co-op members, classrooms, microschools, or organizations. If multiple families will be using the curriculum, a group license is required.
We offer discounted pricing for co-ops, microschools, and other educational programs. Please contact us for details.
What is the difference between the Charter and Classic version?
"Intro to Filmmaking" and "Youtube 4 Teens CLASSIC" are our two courses with a version that has a small faith element. The other three courses do not. Students and instructors in the "Intro to Filmmaking" and "Youtube CLASSIC" courses are free to talk about their own personal faith as it comes up.
What is the difference between the Charter and Writer's Room version?
Intro to Screenwriting has two versions.
Charter Version: This version is designed for learners who prefer a self-guided experience. You’ll receive access to all course materials, including video lessons, resources, and assignments, enabling you to complete the course on your own schedule. This streamlined option provides everything you need to develop a complete screenplay at your own pace, ideal for focused, independent study.
Writer’s Room Version: If you’re looking to connect and collaborate, this version includes access to an exclusive online community through Filmmaker’s Edge. In this supportive forum, you can engage with other students, share projects, and receive feedback from both peers and instructors. You’ll have the opportunity to upload scenes, discuss your progress, and gain new perspectives, enhancing your learning experience while still working on your own schedule.
What editing system should I use?
In our Intro to Filmmaking course, we do not teach one specific editing program. Instead, students are introduced to several different editing options and can choose the program that works best for them.
For students who want to really learn video editing, we have partnered with C&C Productions to offer our complete Video Editing 101 course.
There are two versions to choose from:
• iMovie – A great option for beginners and Mac users.
• Adobe Premiere Pro – The industry-standard editing software and our recommended option for high school students or students with some previous editing experience. Mac or PC users welcome.
Please note: Adobe Premiere Pro software is not included with the course. Students choosing the Premiere Pro version will need an Adobe Premiere Pro subscription for the duration of the course. Adobe offers very discounted student pricing.
How long does course login last? Can you get extension if needed?
Our courses vary in length from 12–18 lessons (one or two semesters), and students have 18 months of access to complete their course. If you purchase a course bundle, you’ll receive an extended 2 years of access.
Need a little more time? We understand that life happens! If you have special circumstances and need your course access extended, just reach out to us. We’re happy to work with you!
When a family buys a course, can the siblings all use one course login?
Yes! We like to say our courses are "family-style." Families can absolutely do these courses together, and you will only need to purchase (or print out) a second workbook for each additional child. Each student needs a copy of the workbook to fill in the blanks as they watch the video lessons and complete their assignments. When students have completed the course, they will have a beautiful portfolio in their workbook.
When do I get my login information and workboook after I purchase the course?
Students will receive their course login the same day we receive the order. The workbook is mailed out the next day and will arrive within 3-4 days.
What camera should I use?
The FS4T courses were created carefully to be accommodating to any level or capability. Because of this, the courses can be done with anything from a smartphone to an expensive camera. If you are able and desire to purchase higher end equipment for your creating, we have attached recommendations for each course below.
