Create a Digital Video Film in a Day

Thursday 8 March 10 am.

Oxford University Computing Services is organising a one-day workshop for *students* who want to enter the Filming Literature competition 2007. The course is free, and will take attendees through the basic skills of making a digital video film. At the beginning of the day we will assume you have never made a film before. By the end of the day you will have taken a script, storyboarded it, filmed it, edited it, and produced a digital copy available for web broadcast. The resulting short film will be entered for the Filming Literature competition 2007, which has a winning prize of £250, and two runners up prizes.

Spaces on this course are very limited so please book early! Booking should be done by groups of 2 or 3 students as you will be expected to film, edit, direct, maybe even act, etc so you will need a team of people and to select a piece of literature to film.

How it works

Try to assemble a group of 2 to 3 students who are interested in taking part.
Select an out of copyright text that you wish to film from the list below. The film can be inspired by a small section of the prose or by the book as a whole.
Select a genre - either Comedy or Horror/Thriller
Group leader to email peter.robinson@oucs.ox.ac.uk, subject DV Workshop, giving email details of the team members and the text and genre of their film.
You will then be expected to submit a short synopsis script.

On the course you will receive training, and be supplied with all the kit you need (cameras, editing machines, etc). You will film the dramatic piece and then edit it in the afternoon. By the end of the day you will be a film-maker!
