Central Queensland becoming filmmakers
Announcement posted by Capricorn Film Festival 13 Jul 2015
Do you have an interest in movies? How about writing a story with a fantastic twist? Learn how to direct or act within a movie? Great news is the Capricorn Film Festival is offering a free one day filmmaking workshop to all Central Queensland and Gladstone residents.
The day will consist of an overview of the production, learning the keys to making a great story and protagonist, hands on camera skills, breaking down a scene and finally bringing it all together in the edit.
Luke Graham, Festival Director, “We are excited to be offering these intimate educational workshops, which will show residents basic skills to make a short film, and hopefully we might even open that desire in a few people to pursue a connection with movies further. Most importantly, its going to be a fun day for all involved.”
The festival education team has been working hard within Gladstone High Schools, showing them the necessary skills it takes to be a filmmaker, while also preparing them for creating content without all the flashy equipment professions have.
Luke Graham, Festival Director, “Its important that those people taking up an interest be shown how to utilise the equipment they have at their disposal, a great camera will not make filmmaker, but an educated filmmaker can create high quality work with minimal equipment. Take for example your Iphone, its a great tool to practice your skills and develop, feature films are even been produced with them these days.”
The workshop will be held at the Central Queensland University campus in Gladstone, on July 25, later this month.
Make sure to get in early as limited seating is available. For more information on booking your place for the workshop:
