FILM SCHOOL IN A DAY (fully booked)

FOR ADULTS WITH LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE WHO’D LIKE TO TRY MAKING THEIR OWN SHORT FILMS

Here’s a chance to make, as well as see films as part of the festival.

Most of us are very experienced film watchers and have a very good understanding of how stories are told in film. Lots of phones have cameras and applications which are capable of making great films. At the same time, lots of videos which are made on phones could be more engaging by applying a few of the approaches used by professional film makers.

Explore:

  • Ways of telling stories through camera angles, sound and editing techniques.

  • Awareness of how different kinds of shot and camera angle are part of how we understand stories

  • The power of editing and thinking more about where to make the cut in a scene and how to take the audience through time and place

  • How sound connects with the pictures

With a little bit of expert guidance, we can pick up a set of techniques and key principles to think about which can turn recordings into short films.

Films completed during the workshop will be eligible for entry to the 90 Second Film Challenge
