British Interactive Group
Northwest regional event
The
BIG VIDEO DAY - 23\06\07
No doubt about it: standing in front of a camera is a
world apart
from taming a hundred braying school kids with a live
show.
Join us at MOSI in
Facilitated by science TV professional Jonathan Sanderson,
you'll:
* Work in small groups to film and edit a short demo-based
movie.
* Gain experience of creative teamwork against a tight
deadline.
* Explore the implications of working in video, from script
to
Performance.
* Increase your confidence in camera skills.
* Learn the 'grammar' of video and editing - why does some
stuff look
great, and some terrible?
* See web video from the creators' end - what makes films
dynamic and
Compelling?
* Learn about copyright and licensing issues, without
falling asleep.
* Get into techie camera and editing stuff, if you really
want to.
* Have a bit of a giggle.
The day will be based on teachers' workshops run as part
of the NESTA/
ETB/IoP SciCast project: http://planet-scicast.com/. Films
made
during the day will be published on the SciCast site;
while they
won't be eligible for the competition, they will reach an
audience.
Scary, huh?
The exact shape of the day will depend on the
participants' wishes;
if people want to focus on presentation skills in the
video context
then we'll do that; if core video techniques are more
important,
fine. So book early and tell us what you want!
We're borrowing SciCast's equipment for the day, so you
won't need to
bring anything. However, you're welcome to bring your own
video gear
if you wish, and you're particularly welcome to bring
along a demo or
two.
The day will cost £35 for BIG members and £65 for non-members
(This includes one years membership to BIG). Please bring lunch and
refreshments or use the museum restaurant. The event will run from 10am to approximately
5pm.
