How many young film-watchers have a precise idea of what goes into creating what they’re looking at?

One of the purposes of Castellinaria, the International Young People’s Film Festival, is film education and this workshop is intended to give young people the chance to experiment with personal and coherent audio-visual language.

 

This year at the Espocentro, Festival headquarters, a film set is mounted with all the technical equipment needed to put into sight and sound the story that workshop participants will write. The whole class will have a hand in writing the script, using their imaginations and inventing a storyboard around a pre-set theme.

 

Castellinaria organizes:

– Two days of theme discussion and film supervision to develop the script and storyboard.

– A day of filming on the set at the Espocentro during the Festival.

– Screening of the film at the Castellinaria Festival.

– A DVD containing all the films shot during the workshop.

 

On filming day the students plan and create casts and crews under the supervision of an expert.

They are divided into groups in charge of the four macro-sectors of audio-visual creation: direction, photography, sound and editing.

In each one the expert describes what it entails and how to use the technical equipment to fulfil the narrative requirements of a script.

At the end of the workshop there will be a video of a short that the kids will see shown on the big screen at the Espocentro.

 

The workshop is organized in cooperation with the REC Association, a group of professionals devoted to developing visual communication operating in the fields of ideation, production and post-production for films, audio-visuals and documentaries. Their work includes research, study, engineering and consultancy in digital communication, mass-media audio-visuals, IT and multimedia apps, but they also focus on organizing and creating educational courses and social-benefit projects.
