Filmmakers Challenge Workshop
Duration:
This is a 7-9 day workshop for teams of filmmakers.
Description:
The Filmmakers Challenge workshop is designed to challenge filmmakers to adapt quickly, think on their feet, and work within time and schedule constraints, giving them a taste of what they would encounter in the film industry. Workshop participants form teams. On Orientation Day, teams will be given a story theme and a list of ingredients outlining the parameters their film must follow. They will be given a schedule for the number of days they are allowed to write the script, prep, film, edit, mix, and finish their film.
Schedule:
Day 1: Pre-production. Lecture and screening of examples of the Filmmakers Challenge. Explanation of the project. Forming teams and assigning roles. Q & A.
Day 2: Pre-production continued. Story development and screenwriting. I will guide participants in adapting a theme into a screenplay.
Day 3: Pre-production. Casting, shot list, floor plan, and location scouting.
Day 4-5: Production. Rehearsing and shooting. I will move between teams to provide feedback, advice, and help resolve issues.
Day 6-7: Post-production. Formatting, editing, sound design, music.
Day 8: Completion and exporting of finished films.
Day 9: Screening and feedback. Awards ceremony.
A 7-day version of this workshop is available with only 1 day of production and 1 day of post-production instead of 2.
