LONG SHOT WORKSHOP @ SFS
On Sunday March 13 Sydney Film School hosts a day-long workshop conducted by the award winning team of one-take filmmakers, Director Ben Ferris & DOP James Barahanos.
Challenge yourself to tell a story succinctly and effectively in one continuous take – no cuts, no editing and no second chances.
Following excellent reviews and favourable impressions from the last year’s workshop, the Australian Film Festival teams up with Sydney Film School to organise another day-long workshop conducted by the country’s leading one-take filmmakers.
The workshop will take place on March 13, from 9.30am at the Sydney Film School (82 Cope St, Waterloo 2017). Fee is $10.
Ben Ferris and DOP James Barahanos will take you through the process and challenges of devising and shooting a one shot film around a pre-determined character scenario. Students will participate in the planning and filming of the one shot and discuss the effectiveness of the choices they have made.
“I was a fresh new student when I went to the one-take workshop,” remembers Anne-Sophie Marion our 2010 graduate and one of last year’s workshop participants. “I didn't know what to expect and who I was going to meet. In the room, most of the people were unknown to me, and all of them had different backgrounds. From actors, filmmakers, writers, or students like me. But we all had something in common: our curiosity, and our search of knowledge. The one-take workshop gives you the essential key you need to get started on how you can tell a story by creating a choreography between the camera, the actors and the place. We all worked together, even though we didn't know each other. I am now still in touch with some people I met over there, as we had a good time and learned a lot. So make sure to be there :)!”
