The Film workshop will assist teachers in preparing students for the creation of an audiovisual production. Focus will be on narrative in short film form and how to incorporate voice-over. Tips and strategies on how to guide students through production processes such as filming and editing will be provided. This workshop is suited to teachers who are new to narrative construction in film.
