The Castlemaine Documentary Festival has announced a series of filmmaking workshops that are open to anyone with an interest in telling stories for screen.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, the expert-led workshops offer an opportunity to dive into the art of documentary filmmaking.
Designed to be attended in sequence, the three workshops aim to take you from the seed of an idea through to having a short film ready to submit to ‘Locals’ as part of the Castlemaine Documentary Festival – or any other film festival!
Hone your idea and prepare your film outline at workshop one: Story and Development. Follow that up with learning how to capture great content at workshop two: Sound and Vision, and lastly, learn to turn your footage into a film with workshop three: Editing Principles.
Taking place on Saturdays, the day-long workshops are priced to be accessible. Attend one, or get a bundle deal price and attend them all.
Story and Development will people kick off their filmmaking journey with the building blocks of documentary filmmaking and storytelling. Learn to craft a story from an idea, research and prepare for your shoot, and explore composition and basic editing.
This works is facilitated by Tony Jackson (People’s Republic of Mallacoota, Who The Bloody Hell Are We?), Kate Pappas (Stuff the British Stole, Playing with Sharks), and Vic Screen Executive, Katy Roberts, (Moja Vesna, Fire Front).
Story and Development will be held on September 14 from 10am to 4pm at the Northern Arts Hotel, Castlemaine. For prices and full details, visit: cdocff.com.au or to make book your place, visit: trybooking.com/CVBQY
