THE FOUND FOOTAGE FILM ** POSTPONED UNTIL FALL **
Frightened by the blank canvas of film? Want to make a film but have no money? There are lots of good reasons to make a found footage film, and lots of found footage waiting for you to edit into a meaningful cinematic experience. In an age where the cultural landscape is dominated by a seemingly arbitrary volume of images, what could be more relevant than an entire genre dedicated to selecting and organizing moving images? This workshop will introduce people conceptually and practically to the Found Footage Film. In the morning you will be introduced to this fascinating genre through screenings and discussion. In the afternoon, working alone or collaboratively, everyone will begin creating a scene or short film by editing found footage. Then at the end of our day, we’ll screen your works together and discuss the cuts you’ve made.
The workshop is intentionally small for one-on-one time with the instructor and the equipment. And if you don’t quite finish your piece, not to worry! You will have access to the equipment at the Annex space for FREE for ONE WEEK as part of the cost of the workshop. Through the week, you can finish your film at your own leisure or re-edit it after you’ve had some feedback.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: CAMERA DYNAMICS ** POSTPONED UNTIL FALL **
Choosing the right camera for the job can be daunting, especially because one camera can’t do absolutely everything you want it to. HD vs 4K? RED vs 7D? How can you get the most out of film cameras like the Bolex 16 mm or the Arri 35 mm BL4? This workshop covers some of the primary considerations when choosing camera formats or manufacturers.
Participants will get a hands-on overview of a number of these formats from both the perspective of creative image making and production feasibility. Basic principals of latitude, resolution and colour space will be touched on before lighting a simple scenario for the purposes of testing. Each format will subsequently be ingested into Final Cut for critical evaluation. Participants will be invited to assist in the lighting and shooting of these tests and be encouraged to bring their own creative inquiry to bear on proceedings.
This workshop will be equally suitable to those interested in an introductory overview to current trends in cinematography or producers/directors who are considering particular formats for upcoming projects.

CREATING BASIC 16 MM TITLES
Film titles are useful not only to those filmmakers finishing on celluloid, but to anyone who wants to avoid the 'cold' look of digital titles in their video work. This workshop allows participants to create basic, white-text-on-black, 16mm titles on the new animation stand at the Cineworks Annex.
Although the aim will to be correctly execute these standard titles in class, the workshop also serves as an introduction to the animation stand itself. A brief discussion of the stand's functions will suggest more advanced titling ideas and methods. Having used the stand in its basic operation, participants will be in a position to pursue such experiments outside this workshop. In order to complete the basic titles participants are asked to come prepared with paper prints or digital files of their images (specifications available upon registration). The end product will be a 16mm colour negative (positive prints & digital transfer not included).
