The Basic Filmmaking Workshop is a series of workshops held over a five week period during evenings and some weekends, and provides an intensive introduction to all aspects of independent filmmaking.
All steps and processes are covered from creative conception to the final cut - including the basics of screenwriting, directing, camera operation, lighting, sound and film editing. During the course participants will be exposed to the process of shooting and editing a short film and short video and will do so as a group.
The purpose of the course is to give participants a feeling for the various areas involved in film / video production. Our main goal is to provide basic training to support the development of emerging filmmakers who will go on to work on their own independent films. At the same time, we also support the development of other creative roles in film, including screenwriters, directors of photography and editors.
