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.

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. You don’t need experience, you don’t need expensive kit, you just need a smartphone and your own creativity and curiosity.

All attendees should bring their own lunch, a smartphone and a smartphone charger.  Attendees should also download the editing app Premiere Rush or iMovie (both of which are free).

Complementary tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.

Tickets are £80 or £50 if you are in full-time education. Further subsidised tickets are available upon application. For ticket discounts please email Bell House at filmmaking@bellhouse.co.uk
