filmmaking workshop: LIFE IN MOtION
day workshop - £225
10AM - 4PM
In this one day retreat, we will help you use videography to tell the story of your everyday life in an extraordinary way. Through practical sessions and workshop conversations, we will take you through what we have learnt over the last few years. Using the gear you already have, we’ll show you how to film your story, and how you can make shorts with heart and soul.
This workshop is for you if:
You want to create beautiful films for your family
You’re a portrait photographer wanting to make the first steps into videography for your clients
You’ve tried your DSLR in video mode, but you’re disappointed with the results
You’d like to create short films for brands
You want to create stories with love
You’ll learn how to:
Use your DSLR in video mode
Move from stills to film
Use natural light to help create emotion in your work
Immerse yourself in narrative storytelling
Use audio and music to enhance your short films
Find your style as a filmmaker
Edit your films
Maybe it’s for your own keepsakes, or you want to share with friends and followers on social media. Maybe you want to take the next step in your family photography business and offer clients these slices of life in motion. We will take you through the flow of making a film, and show you how to create stories with love.
Suitable for photographers taking stills in manual, who have a DSLR that can shoot video. We’d recommend buying a camera strap if you haven’t already got one. We hold our retreats in a beautiful barn on the hillside above our hometown, Hebden Bridge, and in June, we’re looking forward to going on tour and taking in the sights of London!
“Having stalked Sarah’s work online I knew I was going to fall in love with filmmaking during this workshop. It was such an excellent introduction to the world of filming and I am amazed how much we achieved during the few hours we spent together. Working with a small group was great. It meant we could ask questions and receive feedback as we progressed. Sarah is a fantastic teacher - relaxed, fun and incredibly knowledgeable. Providing excellent tips and tricks that help you achieve great films. The chance to practice on a real little family was the icing on the cake. I don’t want to shout about this workshop too much as I feel like am now part of an exclusive club! But really… it was absolutely brilliant!” Hester Barnes (Hester B Photography)
