*About the course:*
This is an intensive, hands-on, weekend training course with emphasis on
developing your practical filming skills, participatory techniques, and
do-it-yourself confidence that will enhance the quality and validity of
filmed fieldwork material. The short, condensed and effective course will
give all participants a solid foundation of practical knowledge and a
working understanding of digital cameras, sound recording, and filming on
location.
Feedback from former participants:
“*This is the type of course every anthropologist and social researcher
should take*” - Dr. Mattia Fumanti, Department of Social Anthropology,
University of St. Andrews
“*Simple, uncomplicated approach to something people are interested in but
perhaps scared of trying out.*” - Julie Botticello, Research Associate, UCL
