Planning a Low-Budget Documentary
This workshop meets for 5 weeks on Tuesdays, July 24, 31, August 7, 14, 21 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM.
Have an idea for a video documentary project? This intensive workshop is designed for people who want to work in small-format video (DV and miniDV). We will focus on how to creatively develop and break down your idea into a one-page treatment and introduce materials to create project production schedules and a sample budget. This is the ideal workshop for first-time videomakers at the start of their projects.
