Critique Burnt Island Youth Videos.

> Burnt Islands

Video Workshop

Oct. 15, 2005

Contact Time: 10am- 4:30pm

Stephenville


Facilitator: Don Murphy


Process: The Burnt Islands Sharing Our Future Community Media Youth group dubbed copies of their videos and forwarded them to Ryakuga for analysis. The workshop was prepared following the critical analysis of the tapes.

This process was informed by the Ryakuga four stage pedagogy of community media. The critique pre-supposes that the group already has experience and the desire to improve.

The actual contact period is a small percentage of the time required for preparation - both by the group and the facilitator - and followup.

Topics covered during critique (supplemented with handouts, discussion and demonstration) :

A) Production Planning

B) Storytelling

C) Narration

D) Continuity

E) Picture Composition

F) Audio - studio, wild, interviews

G) Camera Techniques

H) Tripods

I) Interviewing Skills

J) Scripting
