Mastering the Interview: Real People as Documentary Story Structure


October 2, 2017

Starts Monday, October 2 and runs through Monday, November 6.

Learn to direct and shoot interview subjects in a way that inspires, informs and is technically sound. You will also see how to take hours of raw interviews and condense them down to manageable soundbites which define and give structure to your story. Move an idea or existing project forward by conducting multiple interviews over the course of the class, assessing your material for story threads, and organizing the footage into a “Paper Edit” to be used for script writing and eventual editing.

Taught by Steve Amen (OPB's Oregon Field Guide).

Online pre-registration required.

Cheating w/Puppets

–
November 3, 2017

See how far you can push the boundaries of illusion. Using clever camera placement and editing, your characters, props, and effects will take on a whole new life. Feature filmmaker Jesse Blanchard will draw from years of experimentation and experience to share and demonstrate techniques using puppets and how they can help you “cheat” in all aspects of production.

For a sneak preview, check out the trailer here for one of Jesse’s films using the techniques he will discuss in this workshop.
