A one-day workshop, ‘Smartphone Filmmaking’ will introduce people to the fundamental concepts of filmmaking and provide them with the tools they need to be able to shoot their own films on their smartphone.<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aaMifBbmC6vheTmYS3WmY9TuqA4aMhX2/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Watch a short film about the event.</a>The workshop will be a hands-on, active event, where attendees will continually put into practice the principles they are learning, such as exposure, lighting, sound, framing, planning your shoot and editing.
