Tutorial session

This hands-on training workshop covers both the morning and afternoon sessions. It will be a whistle-stop introduction to effective videomaking for campaigns, including basic filming technique, and video editing for use online:

• New media outlets for film
• Basic functions of a camera
• Film Grammar
• Introduction to campaign film footage
• Conducting interviews & voxpops
• Editing your footage

Industry expert guests will be attending to offer advice in the morning and afternoon sessions.

There will be a practical assignment over the lunch break, in which students go on-location – filming voxpop reactions from event attendees. The afternoon session of the day will be all about editing those voxpops into a 60 second film to show to the main conference hall in the final session.

Please note: This session uses a computer training room, and places will be strictly limited. You can apply in advance by contacting us through this site.
