Poetry in Motion

 

It All Starts with the Words

 

 

In this brand new T Tauri workshop, you'll use a poem you write or pick out as the words for a video that you and your team will create in three workshop sessions!

 

If you like poetry AND movies, think how much fun you'll have making a movie using the words and ideas of a poem. First you'll choose a poem, looking for one that has a simple story or a clear message. Your team might even decide to write your own. Then you'll decide what kinds of video images, sounds, and music will match the words and bring the poem alive!

 

You'll film the images with a camcorder and decide how to connect them together. You'll also get to speak the words of the poem for the video--this is called voice acting--and decide if you want to add music, still photos, or words that appear on the screen. Your finished movie will be shown at the T Tauri Film Festival Finale Screening on Saturday evening, July 31. Students who have their own camcorders are encouraged to bring them.

 

What you'll learn:

  • Basic videography.

  • Basic lighting.

  • Basic audio.

  • Voice recording.

  • Storyboard creation and shot planning.

The registration deadline is July 10, 2010.
