Now that the group have learned how to use the camera, set up shots as well as basic editing skills, its time to put it all into practice. Learners began using the camera at different opportunities during the weeks and months following the video training workshop, working on storyboards and ideas about how potential short films might take shape. Becoming familiar and confident with the camera was one of the most important things for the group. Some learners focused on filming aspects of their own professional practices, focusing on different techniques and creative processes they engage in. Events and exhibitions the adult learners were involved in were also filmed.
The next phase of our Erasmus+ partnership is a mid way meeting of the three partners in February 2016 in Amsterdam. This will be an opportunity for the group to share their learning, show the short films they’ve made so far and discuss their experiences and any issues. Niall the editor will also be on hand to give support and expertise.
