A Film By: Elizabeth Amondi, Elise Lorimer
Everyone has challenges. What we do with those informs the ripple-effect we all have on our world. Exploring what it means to take on those challenges, this film moves with one South African from the townships through the life he's created.
This 2-week HDV workshop runs twice a year and is designed for photojournalists who are looking to make the move to video-journalism and the web, new documentary filmmakers who want to launch their careers in web and television documentaries and for those with experience in some aspects of filmmaking that are looking to expand their skill, understanding and mastery of the whole process. Producers, cinematographers, editors and writers with narrative experience who are considering working in non-fiction filmmaking are also encouraged to enroll.
Students learn all aspects of the process including the importance of the still image, HDV camera, compact lighting methods, field sound, field editing and how to weave the story.
