Collaging our Films (Filmmaking Workshops for QTIPOC+)
March 30 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Are you LGBTQIA+ and Black/a Person of Colour and would like to learn how to make your own short films?
SQIFF and Exhale Group C.I.C. are bringing you 4x filmmaking workshop sessions, making film an accessible medium to get into. All sessions will be facilitated by Nat Lall and hosted at Transmission Gallery.
Nat Lall is a Glasgow-based film curator, known for their work with the SQIFF. Nat is also an artist and DJ. Notable works include the film Pink Excavation (2018) and their musical alias is DJ FLUFFIE.
Each workshop will focus on a different aspect of filmmaking. It’d be great if you could attend all four sessions, but don’t be discouraged to come if you can only come for a couple of sessions that you’re really excited about!
Information on this session (4/4):
In our final session, we will edit the film and sound clips from previous sessions into a finished film.
I’ll show you where and how you can download free film editing software. then I’ll give you a little demonstration of how I edit films.
I treat the editing process the same way I would treat a paper collage. I start editing when I have all my materials to hand and then I cut, copy and paste the clips in and around each other.
For me, this is really when the whole narrative comes together. I don’t start with a clear structure. Using the clips of improvised sound and image, I piece together a story and add in a little bits narration of when needed.
PS. No existing software licenses or experience of film software is necessary. I will show you free-to-use options and help you install them on your own laptops. If you do not own laptop, please be in touch and we will organise one for you to borrow.
