This exciting one-day filmmaking workshop is perfect for young people aged 11-16 years old who love watching films, and have little or no experience of making them. Nicola Prestage is a local film maker who has produced short dramas, award-winning documentaries and music videos.
You will spend the day working with Nicola to gain film production skills including film writing and planning, using digital film quality cameras and setting up microphones and studio lighting. Everyone will also have an opportunity to film, direct and star in the film if they wish to!
The day will run from 10am - 4pm with a screening of the participants' original film from 3.45pm.
Please bring along packed lunch and enough drinks for the day's session. There is a water fountain available in Encore café.
Please complete the pre-course registration form. This takes just a few minutes and must be completed prior to the course date. A separate form should be completed for each participant.
