DOCUMENTARY MEDIA WORKSHOP SIGNAL YOUTH ARTSSeptember 22-October 1st, 2015
As part of THE ART OF BUCK program, the main workshop I facilitated was the Documentary Media Workshops. Working with a small group of 3 girls aged 14-17, the two day workshop focused on photography and filmmaking skills, within the documentary genre. Over the two days, the girls were introduced to photography and filmmaking basics using DSLR cameras exploring aperture, shutter speed, exposure and composition. This workshop was used as a catalyst to empower the girls to then document the rest of the ART OF BUCK program (the Krump workshops), giving them confidence to film and interview participants and teachers. After the Krump workshops, the video and photography were compiled and edited by two of the media participants who created a short video documentary. |
FILMMAKING WORKSHOP PHOENIX YOUTH CENTRE

This two day filmmaking workshop was presented for Phoenix Youth Centre as part of their holiday program. I worked with four young people with a range of abilities. The workshops focused on teaching the basics of filmmaking, using the DSLR camera as well as Final Cut Pro editing software. There was a strong focus of inclusion and team building to encourage the young people to work together in a creative and respectful manner. Participants were also introduced to a variety of film genres, storyboard and brainstorming processes and practical skills to use the camera and equipment.
