Film making is form that you can enter from many different perspectives - From the technical side of the equipment to the conceptual side of the story the components and expertise needed to create a compelling and honest film are expansive. During this workshop students will investigate the technical side of film making including the use of the camera, lighting, sound and editing. Simultaneously they will learn how to create a strong conceptual underpinning for a personal short film through exploring design elements, aesthetic choices and film genres.

This workshop is ideal for anyone interested in how to use a camera, the art of storytelling, the techniques of editing, how to direct, costuming or performing. Through collaboration with the other participants everyone will be able to refine their particular interest in film making while also learning about other aspects they are not so familiar with.
