More about the first module:
Basics of visual storytelling and video recording
At the workshop, participants will be introduced to different ways of visual storytelling (“film language”), the basics of video recording and sound capture with a smartphone and/or DSLR camera. They will learn how to use camera settings, framing, frame composition, etc. to achieve the appropriate technical image quality. In addition to the technical aspects of video creation, the workshop will address the substantive issues of recording events, interviews, personal stories. We will learn the rules, we will masterfully violate them and we will bravely experiment with the video form.
The workshop will be based on learning about the topic through practical work.
Necessary accessories: smartphone or camcorder or a DSLR camera that captures video and audio, headphones.
No previous knowledge is required, everyone is welcome!
Basics of video editing and colour correction
The workshop is intended for beginners and curious women.
Through a practical example, we will get acquainted with the basics of the program, editing and colour correction of the video.
We will explore the possibilities of personal expression through experimentation and play, and discover the message through editing and colour.

We also welcome anyone who is only interested in editing. In this case, bring your recordings with you.
Required equipment: computer, adobe premiere pro, recordings: full HD (with a sufficiently powerful computer it can also be 4k +), 25fps, mp4 / mov / raw format *, if necessary individual audio and rough audio processing (can be via adobe audition)

Important
With the Ordinance on Interim Measures for the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases COVID-19, which entered into force on 21 February 2022, the Government is also releasing restrictions on cultural activities and the collective exercise of religious freedom. All temporary epidemiological restrictions on the provision of cultural events and other cultural services and on the collective exercise of religious freedom have ceased to apply. Preventive hygiene measures remain crucial. More on gov.si.
