Advanced Smartphone Documentary Production Workshop

Advanced Smartphone Documentary Production Workshop

Presented by Docs In Progress at Docs In Progress

We are excited to bring back Larry Engel for this three-day adventure in smartphone documentary filmmaking. If you've already taken our Filmmaking at Your Fingertips workshop or have equivalent prior smartphone filming experience on your Apple or Android device, this workshop will take your skills to the next level as you create a short documentary completely on your phone using one of the best apps on the market for videography - Filmic Pro.

The first Saturday we will practice producing good video and audio using the Filmic Pro app. Further we’ll discuss what a strong documentary is, and develop story ideas for each of you to work on during the week. Finally, we’ll discuss editing apps and how best to use them.

The second Saturday we’ll review your work, start editing, and determine if you need to do any further filming.

The third Saturday we’ll finish up our documentaries and screen for the class.
