Media Trust is running a free video production workshop for charitable and community groups.
This introductory workshop is designed to help charities and community groups understand how they can turn their stories into short films, and will cover planning, recording and editing. A hands-on learning environment will give practical guidance on using low-cost equipment and techniques that will make videos look professional, even on a low budget.
The workshop is part of Do #SomethingBrilliant, a two year campaign funded by Big Lottery.
There are 10 places available. To apply, contact Reshma for an application form. Places will be allocated to the groups the Media Trust feel will get the most from this opportunity and from the subsequent mentoring available to them following the workshop.
The workshop is aimed at charities and community groups interested in creating their own video content for the web and broadcast platforms like Community Channel. Workshop graduates will be mentored through an assignment to create a short film about the great work they are doing in their community, a film that will inspire others to do something brilliant.
Groups will need to demonstrate that they have access to adequate equipment with which to produce their short film.
