MULTIMEDIA STORYTELLING med BOB SACHA

Workshopen vil foregå på engelsk. Du kan bruke alt fra smart telefon til proft utstyr. Fokuset er oppbygging av den gode historien ved hjelp av video, intervjuer, tekst, stillbilder etc.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION ON CREATING COMPELLING MULTIMEDIA PIECES: Whether you are a photographer who wants to start making and editing your own video, and find new ways to tell your stories, or if you are already working with video and want to improve your skills, this is the workshop for you.

Under the guidance of Bob Sacha, a former National Geographic photographer and Emmy Nominated Documentarian, you will enter a new world, discovering the amazing significance you can add to your visual storytelling by introducing sound and motion.

You’ll be free to work in any media, with any device, from your phone to a DSLR to a video camera and/or audio recorder to create a textured story. The focus will be on storytelling, and how by mixing different platforms you will enhance the experience of your viewer.

On the first days of the workshop we will examine the tools to create a compelling video story using audio, video and/or stills. Through lectures, hands-on demos, in-class exercises and critiques, we learn the process of conducting an interview, shooting a video sequence and editing. We also discuss narrative structure, organisation, paper edits and production workflow. You will find, create and shoot a short documentary projects of your choosing, recording audio interviews, shooting video/stills and editing them into short one- to two-minute films for the web.

You are free to create any story you want. The workshop coincides with Trondheim Matfestival, one of the biggest food festivals in Norway, and you will find many of the producers from the area around SAGA, are attending the festival. The festival happens in Trondheim, which is about an hour train ride away from our location at SAGA.
