Description
This arts workshop focuses on video production at the intersection of narrative fiction and documentary, memoir, and experimental film. The class challenges the students to mine their own surroundings and experiences to find stories that move and challenge them or those around them and then create a visual document that expresses the issues of personal interest within it. Once the theme has been chosen the following challenge will be to find the most appropriate end for the work: internet, film festival, art gallery, iPhone or public space, for example. As part of the class, instruction is given on editing software and basic issues with sound and the camera. The participants are also challenged to work with the people, budgets and means at their immediate disposal: camera phone, web cam, surveillance tape, etc.
