Spectacle are an award-winning documentary production company based in London offering affordable hands-on training in digital video production, Final Cut Pro editing and more. We particularly invite you to join us for our upcoming Digital Video Production for Social Researchers & Anthropologists intensive weekend training course with emphasis on filming and interview techniques that will enhance the quality and academic validity of filmed fieldwork material. This is a practical workshop that will also explore issues of ethics, consent and participatory practice. 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, interview techniques, filming on location, working in the field, editing in the field and industry language.

"Really focused and accessible for someone with no prior knowledge."
