FILMMAKING WORKSHOPS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE:
Practical Filmmaking Workshops for Budding Filmmakers ages 8+
Filmbase will host three workshops geared towards young people from ages 8 and up, offering an introduction to practical filmmaking. All three workshops will firstly give participants an introduction to the vocabulary of filmmaking with the use of a number of exercises. These exercises look at the role of sound effects, music, editing and mise-en-scene in film. The second section of the workshop would move on to look at the practical equipment used including a digital camera, boom, tripod etc. Finally, the participants are given a role to play (director, sound op, actor, clapper loader etc) and, led by the facilitator, they will film a short piece to tape. This mini-film will be played back at the end of the hour long workshop for everyone to enjoy.
The first workshop of the evening will be at 6pm and is suitable for young people ages 8 - 12. There will be two more workshops held after these for young people ages 12+.
